I am inspired by the civil rights movement. It took years of persistent protest and resistance, making incremental changes in awareness, until a tipping point was hit to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Today, rapid destruction of jobs by oligarchs and their technology is snowballing. I think growing ranks of laid off workers losing everything will be a catalyst for this change.
