Let's have a General Strike for the whole country on Black Friday and march on Washington, DC. The strike should include no shopping. Why no shopping - because the stores are opening on Thanksgiving day, which is simply the 1% trying to make more money. Why must they ruin a wonderful holiday. Lets show the 1% that the people rule this country and get millions of people in Washington, DC on Black Friday. Let's tell the 1% - "NO WORK - NO SHOP". Everyone call in sick and march on Washington, DC. Please bring a flower for the police, remember they only work for the 1%. They are the 99% just like the rest of us.
What about only spending the cash in your pocket (no credit cards) on presents this year?
Seems that some of us are itching to do something on Black Friday... see posts on other Black Friday website forum topic
Can you think of anyway that the impact of a strike could be measured?
I will not be standing in line outside Best Buy hours before they open for Black Friday.

yeah, but they employ a huge number of your 99%, destroy them, your 99% will have no jobs. Besides, you're movement is small, if you go an call in sick because of this, they'll fire you and hire someone else in your 99%. And really. they are not ruining anyone's holiday, it is you that is ruining it yourself that are getting caught up in this
