Anything that would cause real economic damage and put power back in the hands of workers will be treated as “illegal” regardless of what the books say. But what could they realistically do, arrest everyone in their homes who didn’t go to work that day?

Wildcat strikes are “illegal” in the sense that your employer is allowed to retaliate with firing you or docking pay if you do so. I highly doubt someone’s going to prison for not showing up at a regular job.

I think they are referring to the US Speaker of the House refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva after she won a special election in Arizona.

Coffee and tea both have a slightly different buzz from one another and caffeine pills IMO. At the very least caffeine pills definitely hit way faster, and that can be too much for those sensitive.

I do think coffee itself is a luxury that everyone is used to having. And to be fair, it’s been dirt cheap for quite a while. A lot of the world gets by on instant coffee and basic tea, though.

Not to mention, I’m pretty sure if they started debiting accounts arbitrarily and en masse, there would be a nationwide bank run and an apocalyptic economic crash. I’m not sure they’d want to wage nuclear war on the US economy. At least not yet.

Maybe you’re technically and logically correct (I don’t know enough to say) but they could and would still arrest them regardless and there’s not much that can be done about that. A private citizen that’s stateless is de-facto defenseless against the government while a diplomat is backed by an entire government.

The UN is supposed to help prevent citizens from being rendered stateless as well, but it happens in smaller countries regardless. If the US does it, unfortunately I don’t see the UN doing enough to stop it.

Even if you think it’s perfectly fine morally, wouldn’t that look awful in the public eye and paint a bad picture of those opposed to him? I think it could only harm any sort of real and effective movement. It’s not representative of everyone anti-Trump, but they’d be easily painted that way.

Cocomelon would have been a proper choice for OP to argue. It’s sensory overload brainrot that causes addiction rather than any sense of morals.

It’s interesting to see people are starting to like the idea of it more, but to me it’s useless lip service until they start building new plants. I’d imagine they’d like it a lot less if they started building a nuclear power plant within 20 miles of their house.

If you mean they both agree to shutter old facilities and not replace them with modern nuclear plants, that’s correct. The anti-nuclear sentiment in the US is very strong.

The politicians don’t like it due to cost and time building, while constituents are still very afraid of nuclear disasters (especially the latter, the view on its safety is 30 years behind).

Perhaps this isn’t related to DOGE, but the White House memo also threw the defense industry in a lot of uncertainty over military-related grants possibly getting cut. It’s more likely collateral damage than intentional, though.
