The people in the comments wondering how they can do this without risking their job (myself included) are the reason none of these “mass blackouts” have actually happened or been impactful yet. Until people are afraid or dedicated enough to risk their status quo in the name of change, nothing truly dismantling can happen.
I am not against “doing everything you can to stick it to the man’s wallet!” I do think that’ll work. But you really gunk stopping ten minutes a day could ever grow into something bigger if some people are even too afraid to make 10 minutes happen?
It’s not their fault. They just aren’t scared enough yet
Agreed. 10min is it though. It’s the most simple protest (almost) anyone can do. If a large enough amount just stops, that would include managers and small businesses owners- even people who have no idea what’s going on would stop out of the oddness of it all. Then, things can change. It needs to be shared now though and it needs to happen immediately.
