    What expenses? If everyone is on a general strike, there’s nowhere to spend money.

    And honestly, your suggestion sounds like we’re trying to trade one evil billionaire dictator for another evil billionaire dictator on the off chance that the new one won’t destroy the global economy as thoroughly. That’s not actually an improvement.

      People have to be convinced to go on a general strike. USA spent $5 billion in Ukraine, so with 10 times the population it will take $50 billion to get things going.

      You always trade billionaires. People don’t act on their own so there is always essentially one rich group fighting another.

      The fascinating thing is that there is no billionaire group opposing Trump. So there must be a convincing argument to keep everybody in line.
