Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Members of the Silent Generation are our last living links to World War II. Also, while the Boomers reduced the counterculture to “free love,” the SG provided the intellectual and organizing framework for the anti-war movement.

If you have sick days or vacation days plan accordingly and quickly.
This blackout is 7 days. Shop ahead. Don’t buy anything that isn’t local and small business.
People will be stopping labor if they can (vacation/sick days). And stopping shopping. An economic blackout for one week.
