Collective action problems are tough. Also, a substantial number of people aren't suffering a nightmare; that's the function of hierarchical privilege. Still more have convinced themselves they aren't; lowered expectations. Yet more are confused about the nature of the problem.

The weird thing is that the number of Americans who would actually welcome and participate in a general strike is not nearly enough of them for it to be an effective one. Which ought to damn them all each and every one.

Yep. But we won’t see a general strike until people are more afraid of losing their rights, than losing their jobs.
