    6 months to organize. A lot of people have to work on Saturdays.

    It will be interesting to see if the general strike on 5/1 has any impact, that’s on a Friday.

      Have you learned how the Iron Curtain finally fell? A substantial part of the GDR was protesting. Every f-ing Monday. And they did not have Fakebook or Twatter to “organize”. They just showed up.

        Americans protest when it is convenient. They think if they do it once or twice, it is effective. Doing it consistently is just ‘too much’ for them.
