Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn't be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.
Edit:
If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

You keep saying, on your many crosspostings of this awareness campaign, that “we” don’t know this or that, but many of us Marxists on Lemmygrad do know.
Show
are you talking about "we, the people", not sure what you are referring to, but you can't know until you try, everything else is just assumption, and assumption is mother of all fuckups
I'm replying on particular posts to particular person, the only place I used "we" in context that "we are maybe not aware" is in original post, I can't read your mind that is for sure. Don't know want you meant by "this and that", and what "you Marxists on Lemmygrad" know, I can only see that you are talking for others, but I was replying to individuals.
It might be soup, but it serves me well for now. This online rants are not my real life. My life is quite good, I only pay too much of tax so I can't transfer earnings across multiple years and have to work every year instead to have some time off, like chilling...
Have you considered the possibility that, instead of getting overtaxed by the government being our main problem, it’s that we’re being underpaid by our employers?
What I think you’re unaware of is that the federal government doesn’t actually need our taxes to pay for anything. In fact, the federal government has infinite money. This is not true for state & local government, however, because they can’t create money out of thin air like the federal government can.

Quite the framing you got there, sweetheart!
I don't feel like it in December, how about March or April, “or we can just surrender and eat bugs.”
So
youthey think that voting makes difference? (sorry if I mispronounce you, unintentional, please do not report)Not everyone has the financial stability to withdraw their entire monthly salary from the bank.
You do not provide a clear explanation of how this action will lead to positive changes.The use of ultimatums and hyperbole is unhelpful and short-sighted.
We have been here before, the federal reserve will bail them out
with our taxes, we can't achieve progress with regressive tactics.https://www.wsj.com/articles/fed-to-inject-1-5-trillion-in-bid-to-prevent-unusual-disruptions-in-markets-11584033537
Edited:
Crossed the misleading part thanks to davel, Modern monetary theory (Macro Economics) does say that our taxes are not used for government spending nor bonds either.They will get bailed out, though not with our federal taxes, because our federal taxes don’t actually pay for anything.

Withdrawing is suggestion, do what you can do, it is only awareness month, no obligations, nobody will look what you are doing with your money. It is awareness that you should value your time and not let anyone denies you what you earn and how to spend it. Money is directly related to your time you invested to earn that money. As any awareness, it is related to personal growth and awareness of life in general. We still don't actually know if "Vegan Month" will be beneficial in long run, it is only assumption. But awareness and raise of consciousness should bring positive results in long run. Also, if we don't know, we can find out if we try, if we just speculate, we will never know.
First where Question? Second They would make a law so you have to keep your money on your Bank account if enough people withdraw their money.
