More than 200 Oakland businesses are prepared to go on "strike" next week in an effort to bring attention to how crime is hurting their bottom lines. Andrea Nakano reports. (9-22-23)

Better sit in your business with a shotgun or two if you close up.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Businessmen are capitalists. They like money. Some will remain open just to take advantage of the others actions. They’re like ‘reaching out’ republicans, only self serving.

[CatOwner]

It appears it will be a one day strike. That’ll show the Oakland political leaders! /s

[Governor Dinwiddie]

They don't need to strike.

They need rooftop Koreans.

[bert]

If the businesses already haveno customers to speak of, the strike is meaningless

[redfreedom]

Yes, bu bu but they are capitalist scum. They have no right to restrict the proletariat from their free stuff!!!

Seriously, this could backfire as the local commies will find some way to punish them. If nothing else send gangs around to burn them out. There’s undoubtedly a handful of people in Oakland that vote R, and these business owners are the likely bunch, which is all the more reason to burn them out.

[Jonty30]

They will save money by being closed.

The Fart-Left’s “Defund Da Poleese” programs do have consequences.

I was thinking in today’s USA, if that photo had been taken in recent weeks, the FBI/DOJ would photo-ID the individuals in that photo and destroy their lives.

[OttawaFreeper]

How many of them voted Democrat?

[butlerweave]

They’re not paying taxes they’re being ROBBED

[cuban leaf]

The smart Jews didn’t “protest”. The Smart ones got out of Germany while they still could. And it was a tough decision because they left a lot behind.

[Larry Lucido]

Day 10,798 of their strike. (Random photo but you get the idea).

[griswold3]

“They’re not paying taxes they’re being ROBBED“
Same thing, different players

[joma89]

Stupid democrat voters getting exactly what they voted for.

[Disambiguator]

Some of those “smart Jews” came to the US and became gun control advocates, as they misinterpreted their experiences with Nazism.

[eyeamok]

I fully expect the State to pass emergency legislation mandating these businesses stay open regardless so the public can get the goods and services they desperately need.

[cuban leaf]

Well yeah, there is that...

[metmom]

The smart Jews didn’t “protest”. The Smart ones got out of Germany while they still could. And it was a tough decision because they left a lot behind.

Yes, but they did have other places to go to.

That window is closing here in the US.

If things don't turn around soon, there will be no place left to get out to.
