Has there ever been a real general strike in US history? This is not Europe. Looking forward to a great productive day.

I often think the 19th amendment was a bad idea.

And only property owners should be allowed to vote - the way it was in the early days.

I’m in an IT office. We are professional. This is also an ‘at will” state. That means it’s easy to fire people. The only ones that go on strike here will call in sick.

Well, I am OK today right in the middle of “Day Without Immigrants.” I suppose I will be able to survive this feminist “general strike” too.

General strike?? Hilarious. The 1970s called. They want their socialist dupes back. These pinkos are totally off the rails.

A Day Without Women?

Does this mean I can lay around the house watching Band of Brothers in my underwear?

A day without a "woman," huh.

I can go an entire lifetime without "women" like those.

And another thing.... there is a Tax Day protest planned also. One of the excuses is “working families are struggling to survive.”

Since when did people(women and taxpayers) lose their rights? January 20, 2017 at 11:59 AM? How did I miss that memo?

How about a general strike by men, including the garbage collectors, the police, and the army?
