Mass strikes? Escalating disruptions? The call for unified action on May 2028 presents real opportunity if we start now.

Bullshit!

People who fancy quoting the Melian Dialogue ("the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must") ignore the fact that Thucydides was clearly portraying this as the kind of hubris that squandered Athens' primacy and paved the way for a devastating peer war that it ultimately lost.
