    ignore webadict. since the strike is for 🇺🇲gov, do not do business with them, or contractors working with the government. You can continue your business with comrades involved in the strike.

    if when you can donate, do so.

    You close down for the day and don't buy anything. It's quite clearly spelled out: No work. No school. No shopping.

    Any other questions?

    Your business does not create money from nowhere. You buy things, and you sell things. You are part of a bigger economy, and you are striking that.

    I suppose the any other questions bit was unnecessary, but I was trying to point out that it was listed in the post in a rather humorous way. I apologize because it does sound a bit snarkier than intended. Sorry.

    In your defense, it's kind of a dumb question. Whether you own your business or not, if you're trying to participate, you don't work. It's that simple... (Sorry if you see this, OP)
