A general strike is much longer.

    Do you have a copy of the rule book by chance?

    With the amount of indoctrination that has happened in the US, it makes sense that most don't know how to adequately protest or strike.

    At this point in time, it finally appears people are slowly understanding protests as a means to signify discontent. However, the line remains blury as to what is a protest and what is a strike.

    A general strike should leave a long lasting mark resulting from halting of the economy - but a single day will only reinforce the fact that strikes which are effectively just protests aren't going to work.
