What is the police supposed to do? A honest question.

If you’re stupid enough to still keep a business open in Oakland, then you are definitely stupid enough to keep voting Democrat.

staging a strike on Tuesday from 10 a.m. to noon to draw attention to their desperation.

For 2 hours. That'll leave a mark. /s

Too bad.
So sad.
Elections have consequences.

“Shutting down for a portion of a day”

Why not shut down for a week.

Well, hurry up and die. There are activists who need housing. Love, Nancy Pelosi.

About time! Shut them all down for a week and this crap will quit. Don’t buy any stock from vendors, don’t pay any wages, and shut off the utilities to ding them too. On top of that there will be one week with no income to owe city taxes on or any sales taxes collected.

That will wake them up...

"...small business owners are poised to strike planning to shut down for a portion of the day Tuesday."

Well, that sure ought to do it.

A little bit of “Going Galt”

The last time we were in Oakland, as we exited the freeway, there was a very large pile of garbage, filth, excrement, etc. This pile was, at least, 2 stories high. Next to and all around this were tents and lean-to’s. They had no issues with the pile of filth. Thousands of locals must drive by it every day.

It's like my neighbors in DC who have lived through wokeness, defund the police and the BLM riots and our lovely mayor and cannot fathom why you can hear gunfire in the evening and porch thieves and car thieves are running amok. It's a real mystery to them. Everything was supposed to be peaceful once that orange man left town.

Should have thought of this over 20 years ago.

I was thinking the other day is we may be arriving at the “Strike” level from Atlas Shrugged.

Ooooooh from 10am to noon, just in time for the lunch rush! That’ll show em.
How about this? Shutter your doors and move your business somewhere else far away from that sh1thole. The only thing the Oakland City Council understands is tax revenue and the loss thereof. Otherwise nothing will ever happen to improve the situation there.
