      We’ve tested this with the Coal Mines in usa history. Coal miners can strike, and that made waves, but then when they got replaced a large group of them tried to destroy the coal mines, which btw can burn for over a century, causing casualties as a result and hundreds of arrests, and still the coal barons didn’t raise the wages by a single fucking hay penny. You know what did? An act of Congress.
