The worker should just all stop working at the same time and demand politicians to work for workers and not for billionaires to start working again..

Dr. King even stated as much.

Mario Savio, another activist in the 60s, revealed to have been illegally spied on by the FBI in 1999 ended one of his speeches with this: "There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels ... upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
noo but then they might lose out on a bit of money now instead of live in a nazi state and fear for their life for years!
