From the link:
Truckers going on strike ! “November 29th , we park and don’t move . It’s the day we take this country back . It’s our time . We say what happens.”
It is certainly true that if they park, within a few days this entire country will come to an abrupt stop. The thing is, they have zero organization to accomplish such an idea, which means it's all only talk.
But do they mean they are going to park and not move
that one day only, or until these cases are decided by the Supreme Court, assuming they get that far? Or some open-ended strike that lasts until they bring the country to its knees? And what then?
I have long favored general strikes of solidarity, to bring about social change, as they do in France (and as they did in Poland during the
Solidarnosc days, my son's grandfather was a member). But I'm not quite seeing how that would work in a sharply divided country where, ultimately, everyone is out for themselves and themselves only (or for their identity group or intersectionality, if they see themselves as belonging to one of those).
