The alternatives to Intel/AMD/Nvidia, Visa/Mastercard/American Express/Discover and IOS/Android need to be more developed.

    You guys earn way more than us, but we still find ways to protest more often.

    It really is about finding ways, its never gonna be a convenient thing you do on a sunny afternoon…

      The average US salary is more than most European countries average salary because we work more hours on average, have less time off, and have higher expenses for things like healthcare, groceries, utilities, etc.

        I understand that, my point is the size of the salary has nothing to do with your capacity to protest, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to do it over here.

        I can assure you we are not leaving our jobs just to protest, and also a majority of people love paycheck to paycheck. You need to find the time and organize.

            How long do you think it takes to go from Madrid, Paris, Berlin or Rome to the frontier?

      I think it’s their lack of free time. They have no protections if they want to take half a day off to protest.
