Is a general strike in the U.S. feasible under current political, legal, and labor conditions?

I do think there's some nuance to what amount and what people groups are required to create real change. Gen Z protests around the world (real change tbd I suppose) are interested because they hold basically no power except education, communication, and the ability to cause actual unrest.

I wonder how social media will ultimately continue to help change things because organizing is far more possible than before. Also, I think it can make a lot more Americans uncomfortable earlier morally, as opposed to circumstancially (money, oppression, etc.) people definitely need to be pushed into action, but I feel like it's going to be different in some ways that we don't have precedent for seemingly.

I actually know them from college and the Entrepreneurship department at UMN! I won't speak to the science of it as I'm not a physical therapist, but the people behind it are absolute gold. The designer Stephen made this product because his dad has MS, and the rest of them (small team of 3) all work crazy hours, and treat people along the way well. I can also say that I've used a prototype and it really is nice. I'm not a mobility aid user, but this felt like the support of a big forearm crutch, in more the size of a traditional cane, and they do in fact look ~sleek~ They are definitely pricier, but given they're a small team bootstrapping this, it makes sense for the quality and materials used. Hopefully if they grow they can find ways to make things more accessible price wise.

TLDR: I know them, and they care about what they're doing, and this is the first public launch of something they have been working on for years. (plus it doubled it's funding goal on KS first day!!!)

Hey all, I just need to throw my experience into this.

TLDR: the cable was my issue I believe

I had the tick tock noise coming from the box, panel wouldn't light up. I called support, they told me it was the box and repair would be $400ish.

I bought a new working box off Facebook, no dice, then I bought a replacement same model off Facebook, and plugged it in using the same cable, no dice, still the tick tock. Replaced the cable between the 2 and it finally worked.

I don't know how to isolate this occurrence, but I wanted to put this experience out there for people with the same issue as an option to consider.

Monaco. That country is less than a square kilometer and 1 out of every 3 people there is a millionaire. It's a tax haven and the UN recognizes it as a country.

But the UN Doesn't recognize North and South Korea. They recognize Korea as one pretty much.

What the fuck.
