Yeah, I'm excited to talk to you about this. So this is... What day is it today? I should know this. April 15th. And as of April 15th, you've been on strike for 25 days?

Yeah. Which, good ratios, good ratios. I think, like, Typically, you want at least, like, mid-70s if you're going to do this kind of thing. But, you know, as listeners to the show hopefully understand by now, you can't just, like, call a strike and have it happen. You know, you have to do a whole bunch of organizing.

This also just, I mean, like, You know, yeah, on the basic level, yeah, it's like, okay, your opponent... I guess they are your opponent. Your boss can just instantly fire you for any reason whatsoever for any amount of time. And then also you could quit the job.

Yeah, I mean, that's probably why because I've usually had like larger... My shitty jobs have either been like government jobs or like larger companies. So there was less of the like...
