Are you aware that the largest strike in human history is occurring right now?
It would have been nice to include a link. Here is one [peoplesdispatch.org] 250 million people sounds like a lot (and it is) but given India has a population of 1,364,976,946 It is only about 1/6th. Given India is 1/3 the size of the US imagine the density. The way we are going this could easily be a picture of the US in the future.
In the video: [news.yahoo.com] notice how few are wearing masks.
You'll never hear about it on corporate media in America. Don't want the peasants to get any silly ideas about doing that here.
Yes., the farmer’s strike in India...I saw it on BBC TV news yesterday, and again this morning.
Thank You.
I had no idea about this until I saw this post. I'm glad you put this here or I might never have known. I guess the news is just ignoring it. Which is ridiculous, the biggest strike ever needs to be covered.
I'm glad you care. Seems like most people find events that happen outside of the western world to be pretty much meaningless.
Narendra Modi is to India what Thatcher was to Britain and Reagan was to the US. He needs to be stopped. Modi believes in a Free market system that tramples on the Poorest of the poor. I hope theses farmers make a difference. And I hope Modi's days are numbered
Hear Hear!
