Bernie Sanders: Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution

It looks all too comfortable to say that the 1% could give a crap about any protests. They got theirs and if you think some part of it should be yours then how you going to get it? The idea of protests once meant something because if something didn't change eventually after the protest things got ratcheted up. Now people just go home and say 'oh well, guess nothing can be done'.

In no way would i be advocating for anything that might be harmful or dangerous but it might be a good idea to have an end game. Protest and go home because it feels good, okay and all good if that's the end game. Social media and any or all things that have no financial part in the equation is how to go the offensive. If money is involved you are playing in their court, if what ever you doing can also be purchased with money you are playing into their court.

The People who where protesting, striking or even rioting at the turn of the nineteenth century were demanding time off and reasonable work hours which brought efficiency into vogue. You can't buy time off no matter how you slice it, it has to be taken. The 1% didn't want to give it because they figured they would lose on the profit margin, but really they couldn't afford not to give it because they were losing more in fighting it. A game changer is needed
