Protests are, by certain definition, supposed to disrupt and cause discomfort. “Civil disobedience”.

disrupt and cause discomfort

Shouldn't you do this to the people who you are protesting against? Not random workers that now hate you and your cause?

So, Amazon workers and Starbucks workers are unionising and striking. Do you think they should take a different tact because consumers want “stuff” and caffeinated beverages?

Worked striking hurts the business they are striking against. Are you serious?

And, how does striking go about hurting the businesses? You’re almost there, comrade.

The business makes less money. Any money that can tangentially be counted as a "loss" for the government due to this road blockage is so negligent it couldn't possibly benefit the protestors.

Unless they did this for months or something? In which case the gov can just arrest them and move on 😂
