What if everyone in the US who makes under a living wage just… didn’t show up to work for 1 day.

Just 1 day.

No big march or loud protests that seem to be getting ignored lately.

Instead you stay home and don’t go to work.

Take it a step further and don’t buy anything either.

Can you imagine the chaos??

The 1% and ‘upper middle class’ wakes up for their morning Starbucks/drive through/ gas station/ breakfast run only to find the doors have not been opened yet?

People rushing from business to business, completely confused and upset because there is no one there to serve them?

PR reps for corporations panicking because they can’t just say “they didn’t show up because we refuse to pay them enough to live” that would tank the company. And what are they going to do? Fire everyone? There would be no one to replace that many people because it’s not like the upper classes would condescend to work a “low skill, entry level, job meant for teenagers”

CEOs and shareholders losing shares and billions of dollars because their greed singlehandedly ruined the company.

Capitalism depends upon your participation.

What if we chose not to?
