Still no rent strikes and general strikes?

Protests in the street are great but our real power comes from shutting everything down by not working. And by crippling the parasitic landowners by striking on our outrageous rents.

My rent has gone up around $600 a month over the last 8 years from $1200-$1800. It’s not some gigantic or nice place, though it’s not a slum either. All this increase of price and nothing has been done to warrant an increase. They didn’t improve this place. They just are allowed to starve us all.

This is performative and will go to the Senate and die or be torn to pieces and made useless.

It’s almost like the power of the courts rely on people being essentially good faith actors within the system. They have no enforcement mechanism.
