Even if its performative, the threat will make people sweat. With each industry calling for change, the noose tightens as the general public grows more aware of their collective power. We may have lost that solidarity in the post-war period, but the longer the ruling elite fail to hold up their end of the bargin, the more people will wake up and come on side. Not all, of course. There will always be boot lickers and wannabe lieutenants.
