More and more does it look like we are going to need a huge general strike with everyone refusing to work for about 2 months. It may cause a lot of people to go homeless if anyone can enforce evictions and many may starve. But the immediate move for companies while the markets crash into the Trumppression would have to be for billionaires to try to forcibly move their companies over seas in attempts to save anything they have left.
The alternative is 100 years of massive viral/bacterial spreads that wipe us out in essential plagues while wealth disparity forces large swaths of the country into slavery.
I really hope it doesn't come to either.. but that's what this administration is forcing the population into.
Edit: Note earlier this year this administration already made massive cuts to NOISH, some of which were reversed, which is the administration that under/in the CDC that pushes research to OSHA to help ensure the health and safety of workers.

Sure, here's my name, address, phone number, and declaration of intent. Take me away, future govt. and their self-curated list of political roundups! I approve of the idea but not the means of confirmation. Tell us when and I'm game.
Please stop sharing this website. It's a fucking op
I know back in the day when things were bad people organized and prevented evictions from being enforced. I'm not sure how hard that would be to do today, but it might be something we need to do and figure out again.
General strike needs to be more than a walk out. Keep doing the job fot the people but not state or corporation!
Keep making coffee, free til you run out, for everyone but cops. Courtesy of the union.
Keep teaching kids, but teach the .most subversive shit you can.
Keep treating patients, and just make shit up to insurance.
