SF bay area. I remember there being lots of strikes when I was a kid - farm laborers, for example. There was a big deal about boycotting grapes or lettuce or something, In fact there was a strike at the company where my dad worked. Nobody got shot. There are plenty of valid points to make about government serving the rich and not the common people, without resorting to just making shit up (or automatically believing it). Bobbleheads on the side of Goodness and Justice are still bobbleheads.
