The strike strategy used by the auto workers was genius.

UAW has a unique strike strategy. It keeps Detroit Big 3 automakers guessing

For the first time, the UAW is on strike against the Big 3 U.S. automakers at once. Workers at three plants have been called out so far, with more to follow Friday if there's no progress on a deal.

In breaking the rules, UAW Pres. Shawn Fain refuses to name a target, keeping the automakers off balance as negotiations wind down to the deadline.

The Game Theory of the Auto Strikes

As the United Auto Workers strike against Detroit’s Big Three drags on, a classic behavioral theory provides a way to figure out how long it may continue.

Sometimes the removal of a leech from your hide requires a bit of temporary pain.

The alternative is becoming a willing host to a bloodsucking parasite, or a political party of parasitic organisms, forever.

Recommendations?

Try it all, until something clicks with billionaires. It's going to take a lot to break through to MAGA billionaires

They're very insulated from backlash & they own a media ecosystem that servilely serves up self-soothing lies

In the past, global financial meltdowns & world wars did the trick, ... eventually

Try the tactics of the Simple Sabotage Manual & escalate up to massing troops on the border to free folks from fascist overlords

The covid lockdowns are an example of how billionaires respond to such closures.

Now, there's the task of convincing billionaires they had better stop funding fascist movements globally... or else.

Just a moment...
