The Left and the Right want the same thing.

But also:

I’m a Republican, and in nine months of advocating for safer streets, I have yet to meet another one.

I’m convinced this is the origin story of all my anxiety.

That last one made me look around the room. I need to get out of this comments section.

Put a sheet of tinfoil in there while waiting for the baby to arrive. That’ll keep him out.

It’s a start. Do we think those 6 states would join a general strike? Maybe the goal shouldn’t be a nation-wide strike per se, but a coordinated strike across consistently blue (city, state, fed), high-population regions. That way, the conversation shifts from “it can’t happen” to “where does it need to happen”.

Serious request: I don’t have any background in political science. Can someone help me work through this hypothetical situation?

Blue politicians call for a general strike to protest the activities of the Trump administration. Let’s assume everyone in the country knows about it.

In which states does it actually happen? What industries are most impacted? What percentage of the adult population in those states takes part? How long does it last? What does Trump do in retaliation to those states? Is it effective?

They’re using this to test how long Americans will tolerate having a clearly dead person hold elected office for when Trump finally farts himself to death

This is the best human interaction I’ve read about in a long time. Maybe ever.

Another great solve for the legendary Sherlock Hound

As a woman who’s had limited access to pockets for most of her life, why would anyone willingly choose to give up proper pants storage? Clearly, these men don’t realize how privileged their existence has been.
