It's time for a national strike....before these assholes kill us all

18. I think the most effective move would be...

econonic. This country and most of it's citizens care about only one thing first and foremost and that is the ecomony. The US is defined mostly by it's economy, not quality of life for everyone. So, commit to a month or more of not buying anything except the bare necessities of life - and I do mean bare. It can be a win-win for those of us committing to it because a lot of people might learn just how little they need to have a comfortable life, and their budgets and savings would benefit from it. It might even lead to permanent lifestyle changes.

But as someone else said, Americans don't do sacrifice. Even here on DU you'll find quite a number of people who wouldn't commit to it even if we all know it would work.
