    The owners would last 10 days, especially if the duration was announced ahead of time. Maybe a general strike that had no end date, once it went 3 months or so, would have the desired effect.

    Going Luigi on a bunch of them would be faster, more effective, with stronger effects that lasted longer. Probably fewer total deaths.

      No, 10 days is way more than enough, it’s even overkill.

      If the full country, all workers, stopped for one (1) day, the billionaire elite would loose their shit.

      Because they would instantly know that they lost control of the narrative, and that the people realized that it’s them who have the elite by the balls, not the other way around, and they’d come begging to the table.

      Americans aren’t at that stage yet, but there’s a chance that this cabinet and their incompetence will finally go too far and break the camels back.

        I think their point is you can’t just commit for only 10 days. It might take less than 10 days, but if that’s your limit, they might try and tough it out.
