    For comparison, try “A Day Without Billionaires” next week, where billionaires don’t turn up to work.

    “Oh, hey, everything’s still open and everything still works”.

    So all the progressive businesses that hire these kinds of people will close and lose revenue while the non-progressive businesses, the ones you really want to hurt, will stay open and collect the revenue they’d normally collect along with a bonus from customers they bring over. Also remember that it’s the lower income people who have less choices about when and where to shop. Close the only store they shop at on the only day they have time to do groceries and you’re hurting them way more than the more privileged person who can just go another day or travel further.

    This feels way more like cutting off your nose to spite your face

      Where I live it was a labor strike. High-end house construction completely shut down for the day.

      Antifawhat?

      I always heard this term and had trouble working out what it was an abbreviation for. Could you fill it in for me? Asking dishonestly.
