“The idea seems to be a revival of the 1971 “Days of Rage” – an effort to shut down the country as a whole to force a change in government. “
November 4th 2017 is a Saturday. If their plan is to shut down the country, shouldn’t they pick a day when it’s actually operating?
That way they can engage the few that actually have and hold a job (ie.: union members, teachers, etc.)
and they still have a travel day (Sunday) to get ready for work on Monday.
By scheduling on the weekend, they probably figure they can get more participants.
