Strikes aren’t bad for the US economy. They’re the best thing that could happen.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Even if strikes were bad for the economy, we should still support them. We are the economy, and better pay and better working conditions are something we should all support
It makes more sense when, every time you hear "x is good/bad for the economy" from a corporate outlet, you replace 'The economy' with 'rich people's bank accounts.' Nobody with a pulpit gives a rat's ass about the economy of the 99%
