WHY DONT WE DO SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL!!! THE 99% of us need to come together and attack these big corporations together--- ONE by ONE... Lets for example take Exxon-Mobile and the millions and billions they earn at our expense. LET US ALL-- ALL 99% of US pick just one day and not drive our cars/trucks/mode of transportation. ONE DAY!!!! ONE DAY that the BIG GREEDY CORPORATION cannot get back in earnings will make a huge difference-- they will lose millions --- SEND THE MESSAGE (LOUD and CLEAR). THIS is just for STARTERS-- we can attack one corporation at a time-- have good clear focus and a good clear strategy to attack
YES! I was thinking that as well. Or a national/international day where everyone does not buy gas and does not pay bills, does not go to work, does not pay for credit card bills or open up new accounts, or buy any products, etc.
No they will not lose millions...if I need gas today, and put it off one day I will still get it tomorrow.
Of course it would only be 95% or less, since some 5% or so of the 99% must work for Exxon-Mobil and its affiliates. doesn't hurt the 1%, only hurts those that work there and get laid off. Hurts your neighborhood gas station owned by your neighbor far more than the supplier of the gas.
No, it's not going to hurt anyone.
Putting off a purchase that you are going to make anyway by one day does absolutely nothing. It isn't going to impact a bottom line, it won't impact the neighborhood gas station owner.
Because, you will come back the next day or even the day after that and fill up. Zero effect.
