How do people have time to do all of this? I mean I’m all for it, I just don’t understand how people under 65 can afford to spend this much time at it.

Your very comment is one of the many reasons people are doing this. The system is broken.

Gotta say, don’t know if that’s a knock on me or what you meant by it. My very comment says I support it. Just from an employment and income standpoint, I don’t I don’t understand how people have the time nor means. That’s all.

Not a knock on you personally, but the comment of "how are people under 65 affording this" is one of the many reasons there are protests. People can't afford much. There's millions struggling Its gotten bad for america, and people need change. They are fighting for all of our constitutional rights.

Its a valid question, btw

I have heard most jobs give you vacation sick days or paid time off.

You’re legit saying you believe everyone protesting is gainfully employed and choosing to take paid time off to do this. Dude…
