So I gave you a downvote already, but I'm open to convincing.
What do you think the logistics of any of those things actually look like? I'm all for any of those things happening, and you listed them in increasing difficulty.
It seems to me that there is an underlying entitlement from the perspective of europeans where you think these would be things people can just do and the system will catch you. It doesn't do that here.
I would suggest joining unions, organizing, get to know your neighbors, and engage in mutual aid, individually. I was speaking about your governments, though. So pressure.
Got any unions that do anything in the US that you can join if you aren't in that specific job?
Unions aren't where I am, generally speaking, but some jobs have them. I think there are some but I'm pretty wiped out after 14 + hours. Any search engine should do for user specific areas.
