For the UN to mobilize it would take half a year. FEMA for example can't mobilize within a month of a hurricane disaster. Living in Florida we know for a fact that FEMA isn't going to "help" within a month. So we plan accordingly to be self sufficient in the case of a disaster. Federal government may wield some power but it is still a cumbersome giant in the grand scheme of things.
The US military is the only one with the proper logistics to mobilize within a month and even then it takes time if we are talking about a nationwide effort.
What's your point in regards to the possibility of strikers being replaced. Why is NY calling the NG to replace medical personnel at hospitals? Why is the MA governor ordering the NG to be bus drivers? Why is FEMA purportedly busing in nurses and medical practitioners to a hospital in TX and elsewhere?
Again, my point is the strikers need to have a plan; a strategy in place to prevent their jobs from being replaced.
Food for thought. I previously stated the following in regards to the airline mandates. There are many ways of doing this from using lawsuits, sit ins, not showing up to work, not flying when scheduled to fly (just walk out of the plane), not loading luggage when the luggage is suppose to be loaded, or loading only part of the luggage, but not all of it, scheduling passengers to wrong destinations, mislabeling luggage, rudeness to ticket purchasers, etc.
There is a thousand and one ways to bring a company to their knees without signaling the government to step in to 'nationalize' the airline and industry. Make them look incompetent.
Many of the people in the NG have civilian jobs. You pull them from their own civilian jobs to cover other civilian jobs still creates a shortage.
The strategy is simple it is a game of chicken and they can't sustain this long term.
Agreed. It is a game of chicken that has already cost tens of thousands as collateral damage.
How long can they sustain this? I don't know and I refuse to set this as a premise. History tells us in Eastern Europe the citizenry during the Stalin period rationalized it couldn't get any worse than the oppressive mandates issued. This was a mass psychosis that prevented them to react. They falsely reasoned the measures imposed by their new government was only temporary and things will get better.
This is what they told themselves to placate themselves.
Yet the Tyranny only grew and worsened because they didn't act and resist to stop it. By the time they realized their dreadful mistake, tyranny spread to where the food sources were cut off to non-compliant areas, Millions and millions died. Resistors were rounded up and disappeared into the gulag system.
For some reason December 8th is important to them. They are rushing and using every means of coercion to meet a 'deadline'. This might mark the beginning of Phase 2 of their tyrannical doctrines.
Are you willing to bet that "they can't sustain this long term"? I'm not.
I am willing to say yes they can't sustain this long term. They already have a shortage of nurses before they started the mandates. Pulling a NG nurse from a civilian job to cover another civilian job is not sustainable.
They are resorting to paying double the money for retired nurses to come back, and also importing Filipino nurses.
The end is near.
