For most of U.S. history, general strikes have been rare–not because workers lacked the will to fight, but because the ruling class moved quickly and violently whenever that power surfaced.
I’m not skipping work, but when I put in the personal time off request and told my boss why it was such short notice he said to get out there and do the work, so that’s what’s happening.
I’ve been pretty nervous looking at the weather and how that may affect turnout. The forecast has a low of -23, which rivals some of the worst cold snaps I’ve seen up here factoring in windchill. But it turns out that’s just in the morning. By the time the march happens it’ll be closer to -10. That’s just adding sweatpants between my leggings and jeans and some thinner gloves under my inner glove layer.
This is nothing, few years back we had -40° days with wind chill bringing it down to -70. Everything closed, yet everyone i knew still went out ice fishing
Yeah, I remember taking a walk through the polar vortex back in 2019 and feeling heat escape my clothing like air from a ripped astronaut suit, but that was a 20 minute walk and I anticipate being out in it for multiple hours this time. That means I need to prep differently.

I hope this makes a difference.
