  And what is the military going to do? Force everyone back to work under the threat of death? Sounds like the catalyst to a revolution to me

    Sooner or later, someone in the military would have to decixe between following an order, and not shooting a friend/relative. And as you say… revolution.

  That long? Ain’t no way the shareholders would let the government stay on its leash long enough to tank an entire fiscal quarter

  Will somebody think of the economy?!

  A peaceful general strike would lead to military intervention in about 45-60 days I think.

  But at the end of the day, how do you task society to forcibly work?

  Everyone can just start taking sick days, what’s the Army going to do, go to door?

      I’m speaking more towards if workers stay at home en mass, etc.

        Action and motion are necessary to sustain life in a community, through distribution, protection, ans communication.

        Nevertheless, whether workers are inside the home or outside, it seems reasonable to anticipate visitation by ACAB.
