I suggested that small businesses could organize a one day shutdown - in their communities and nationally.

This is an interesting idea but I don’t understand how this would motivate the various governments to end their abuses of the citizens. It would certainly hurt the governments in that they’d be deprived of their various tax revenues for that day (retail, income, etc.), but would cause disproportionate harm to the small businesses. Those that survived the shutdowns during covid are still struggling to get back on their feet and restore themselves to their pre-covid financial positions. If we start with the premise that governments would love to get rid of ALL small business, the backbone of every successful economy, this would seem to further that goal in that it’s more damaging to the small businesses than the governments. I’d like to understand better your thinking in this regard if you wouldn’t mind explaining it to me.

I am advocating for demonstrating a popular spirit of resistance to Constitutional abuse - for example: one day. I cited the Egyptian example and how effective it was. Send the tyrannical oligarchs a message. If you do not believe in such as that - peace to you on your way.

A one day shutdown won't prove anything.

The stock exchanges and companies that make New York the financial center of the country and the world should announce that they are going to shut down their New York headquarters and debark for the free states of Texas and Florida. They should announce that Dallas and Miami will be the future financial centers of the world.
