If you know a business open on the weekend, that’s someone who couldn’t take a day off from work. I work Saturday/Sundays on my gig. Fully against Trump, just can’t take a 2.5 hour bus ride one way and a day off of my job to attend. That money is going towards paying for the healthcare and rent of my family.
Edit: Sorry that I have a job to provide my family PugJesus. I know you hate that I have a life outside of Lemmy, unlike you.
Majority of Americans can’t afford to take a day off.
And how much do they think they’ll be able to afford once the cheeto is done with his changes?
It was on a saturday! There was fewer events in fewer cities than the first run, and still managed about the same turn out.
Approximately 53 million Americans work weekends. And around 8.48 million have more than one job.
I turned out, but I had friends that couldn’t.
Exactly. The current turnout is a good sample of the overall population, but we won’t see truly huge numbers until there’s a general strike.
This made me imagine working 2 jobs on a Saturday and now I am depressed.
