There should be only one goal

$25 minimum wage. Nothing will happen if the movement is too diluted. They want this to be framed before it starts.

Looks like the twitter page is down?

https://twitter.com/StrikeOctober

Let me know if this was fixed for the most part, but it seems like the account linked to the official website is down, so maybe just needs to be updated

Also, it looks like a lot of the discussion is happening on discord, is there a link that can be provided on the website?

Misinformation about the strike spreading?

Now on TikTok I see that it's been cancelled by the OP?
Links lead to troll accounts too.

Take action for the climate now! (Please do not take this down, humanity needs to take action))

Hey October/LaborX peeps, this is dire. We are in Red Alert mode about climate crisis. We need as many people as we can to sign up, protest, call in phone banks, call and message their senators, leaders, and president. Below are other organizations you can join or help out with, and links that let you know what you can do. This is not to detract from LaborMovementX this is a supplement until this movement gets going.

Please send the following links to as many people as you can:

Legislation introduced to allow student loans to be written off through bankruptcy.

"While some progressive Democrats continue to push the president to cancel student loan debt, there's a bipartisan effort underway to overhaul the student loan system in another way: by making bankruptcy discharges more accessible for student debtors.

If passed, the bill would allow federal student loans to become eligible for discharge in bankruptcy proceedings 10 years after the borrower's first loan payment comes due. 

The bill also proposes to increase "institutional accountability" by making colleges that receive federal loans from more than a third of their students "partially reimburse" the Department of Education (ED) if student loans are later discharged in bankruptcy or "if the colleges had consistently high default rates and low repayment rates.""

Student loans aren't part of OctoberStrike but we're part of LabormovementX. If mods feel off topic please remove.

For discussion, is this good enough?

On October 15th, WE THE PEOPLE SHUT THIS DOWN!

……by calling in sick! All 12 of us! And with no support or endorsements from any actual labor unions whatsoever, who are probably laughing at all of you!

We defeated capitalism, guys! #ImHelping

Why the labor strikes are not working, but actually are

As people refuse to come back to work I found it strange that the stock market is at all time highs. I started asking on stock message boards and it turns out companies are more profitable with less people.

The CEO's and stock brokers are actually richer because they just make remaining people do more work.

This is pushing the stock market to all time highs, which is in turn causing Baby Boomers to have much more money in their retirement accounts. Couple this with the media pushing Delta so hard and Baby Boomers are retiring early, causing even more pressure on the labor market.

Per the below article we had the following # of people quit their jobs:

Apr21: 4,000,000

May21: 3,600,000

June21: 3,900,000

Total quits: 11,500,000. Dubbed "The Great Resignation" it is representative of Millennials changing jobs or even career paths.

However there is something more telling. The 3.9M quits in June is only 69% of total job separations.

The other 31%, or roughly 1,750,000 either were let go or fired by their company (unlikelyin a tight labor market), or....

THEY RETIRED 😉😉😉😉😉

A MORAL PROFIT

I work for:
)¡₩ $₩¡+#, a billionaire Landlord & (developer, senior care), who sits on top of a bank in "Ellis Island for slaves" town, USA.

He was a rural white man who became a local millionaire. He took a Deutsche bank loan in '02 on 3 office buildings in Southwestern VA. Then he "laundered" to billions in 7 years. We must do something!
My Idea:

A MORAL PROFIT.
Capitalism's swan song must be smoothered as it croons. No binary perspective is the answer, nor myopic economic theoriesis.

The answer is recognizing that centralized wealth, enhanced by the absurdity of being a person was animated by Judical Gaslighting: "Money is speech"

These ghosts: not bound to the law as you or I- are enhanced in agency by "limits" in our authority to constrain them. Now Phantoms, conjured by hoarders through money changers- are elevated over any corporeal citizen. These Wraiths are an abomination that outnumber ALL US citizens.

Bind this phantom.

The people are governed without consent by absurdities. Money is NOT speech. Property is NOT a person. They are POWER. Representatives are now the purchased property of maladapted, additction-riddled & metally ill Merchant Tyrants. These morally-deformed Dragons have replaced goveranace with grievance and hedonism, in the marketplace of ideas.

The majorities' voice among its' citizenry is not reflected in crafted law. Minorities subjugate minorities in plain sight. 

Majority rule is the natural outcome of self governance. Flocks and herds in nature demonstrate this natural law in visual poetry. The animating principle of our union is overthrown: CONSENT. Minorities of our political body are an enemies to our constitutional order. 51% of a flock governs direction.

Should consent derive from self-governance- we alll (including our Congress) are subjugated. National Security must prevail aganist institutional privlege.

The Economic Tyrant must be shackled to its siblings- completing the Triumvirate of toppled Tyranny: the God Emperor, the Hereditary Monarch and the Dragon Merchant-

... But the Facist Charmer will manifest continually- a by-product of free speech, and the uncertainty of no guiding personal doctrine.

Chain the last tyrant. Stand vigilant against the Charmer. Throw loose the bonds of negligent, morally-deformed hoarders.

Someone out there Please: BE A LUTHER, BE A JEFFERSON, write a letter. Emancipate the human soul from the appetite of addicts.

Craft the words. Bind the ideas with a new animating principle... A MORAL PROFIT.
