Ohio voters just took firm positions on abortion and reproductive rights and adult-use recreational marijuana Tuesday, but gerrymandered Ohio lawmakers are already planning to flout, ignore, challenge, and abuse the voters’ wishes. This is what gerrymandering brings. This is why it’s a fundamental poison in the lifeblood of our republic.
Mere hours after Ohio voters passed the Issue 1 reproductive rights amendment with 56.62%, according to unofficial results, and the Issue 2 recreational marijuana law with 57% (both getting nearly 2.2 million votes), Ohio Republican legislative leaders signaled they would not respect the will of the people.

Just as soon as someone does all of the necessary planning. Strikes go on for a long time. There needs to be infrastructure in place for helping people meet their needs during a strike. That’s one thing that unions are able to help with. Untill that infrastructure is in place, a general strike will never succeed because people will need money to food, medication, sanitary products, etc.
There aren’t enough cops to guard all of the grocery stores that lack employees from being looted.
One person alone can’t start a nationwide strike. Guess we have to wait for things to get more desperate.
Seriously, you’re already giving up? You have a firm date, five years in the future to get ready, and already have tens of thousand of strikers lined up. How many advantages do you need?
Me personally?
Unionize your workplace and set your contract expiration for April 30, 2028. I know it’s far off, but that gives us the time to organize and save. UAW called for everyone to set their expiration dates to the same date. That’s actual planning for a general strike. We need time to build strike funds, build collective power, etc.
