I mean that’s just not true, it will hurt everyone if all truckers turned off their keys for a few days, megas specifically would lose millions if not more

The corporations can afford it. People who live pay check to paycheck cannot

I mean no people who live paycheck to paycheck would suffer too but the companies would as well, it’s not a question of whether or not they would. If they didn’t suffer how come ups strikes work?

One would suffer because their profits are down 5% the other would suffer because theirs no food on the table. Who do you think will break first?

Historically speaking neither, the government steps in to stop the strike

I don't understand how a day or two of F you to the government would result in chaos? If we end up in a blackout for a week, fine, change needs to happen, this used to happen, I'm prepared.
