When a General Strike happens, it will happen to us all. How long it last depends on how prepared we are for the long haul.
We need to start now by redirecting and reducing our expenses. Conscious spending means getting the biggest bang for the buck and more and more that looks like local.
This zone is about noticing the systems that shape our daily life, how money flows, how attention is captured, and how habits form in a system designed to create them.
As we move through these challenges, we begin to recognize patterns that were always present but rarely examined. Awareness creates the foundation for every step that follows.
These individual challenges all work together to help disengage from the corporate extraction economy to build our strike fund to prepare us for any economic disruption that may occur.
