School closings in Wis. should show teachers, police, firefighters and such what power they have if

[RB TexLa]

they would go on strike.

For any of those groups even a three week strike would get them whatever they want.

Three weeks of no police or fire responding to anything, three weeks of parents having to juggle their kids unexpectedly. When it's called extortion, all they have to say is "no it's not, just replace us," and laugh as shit burns and communities scream to give them what they want.

1. Most police can't strike

ditto firefighters

[RB TexLa]

2. It would involve ignoring that law/regulation/rule

And it was done in New Orleans in 1979 during Mari Gras. Guess what? They got what they wanted.

3. Right n/t

4. Their wheels of industry cannot turn

if we don't put our shoulders to it.

General strikes and massive crowds near their power centers and homes, they HATE that stuff!

5. Again tomorrow, there will be no school in Madison.

That makes four days.
