Gen Z be like "IF YOU CANT TIP DON'T EAT OUT" and then shoplift

Why do people need a conspiracy theory to deal with the idea, that some might disagree with their view on voting? Some quotes below

"You’re either a plant or .."

"But good job trying to be a right wing fascist troll and guilting people into not voting so Trump wins."

"Russian spies. Nice try."

"Incredible how the majority of their comments come at hrs when most Americans are in bed .."

"^ this guy wants trump to win the election."

"Bad-faith actors are tryin to say all the cool left-leaning kids aren’t voting this year - All of a sudden for no particular reason"

I find that idea so annoying because its not really an argument and more a stated believe. I don't even want to argue with that.

Good Work Strike

One of the biggest problems for service industry workers is that many forms of direct action, such as Slowdowns, end up hurting the consumer (mostly fellow workers) more than the boss. One way around this is to provide better or cheaper service -- at the boss' expense, of course.

Workers at Mercy Hospital in France, who were afraid that patients would go untreated if they went on strike, instead refused to file the billing slips for drugs, lab tests, treatments, and therapy. As a result, the patients got better care (since time was being spent caring for them instead of doing paperwork), for free. The hospital's income was cut in half, and panic-stricken administrators gave in to all of the workers' demands after three days.

In 1968, Lisbon bus and train workers gave free rides to all passengers to protest a denial of wage increases. Conductors and drivers arrived for work as usual, but the conductors did not pick up their money satchels. Needless to say, public support was solidly behind these take-no-fare strikers.

In New York City, USA, IWW restaurant workers, after losing a strike, won some of their demands by heeding the advice of IWW organizers to "pile up the plates, give 'em double helpings, and figure the checks on the low side."

Never heard of that type of action. Sounds very effective.
