Ah, now I get it! Very valid and useful idea. Perhaps holding up crosswalks throughout the city? Only takes 2 people to definitely slow traffic and cause a nuisance at each intersection. If this were replicated sporadically throughout the city all at the same time… I can see it.

50501, No Kings protests, Hands Off our Democracy protests… we have done several simultaneous protests across all 50 states at the same time with No Kings having over 5 million protesters nationwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Kings_protests

Not a bot and not joking. While I agree a lot of people work weekends, you must admit those jobs also work weekdays when most everyone on the planet works. There’s a heck of a lot more people working Monday-Friday than Saturday (or even fewer, Sunday). Want to shut down the means of production, do it on a weekday. Want Retail and Food Service to lose a bit of money, do it on a weekend. On a weekday you shut down not only retail outlets and restaurants, but manufacturing, construction, government services and offices, etc.

So no one is going to work on a Saturday… I feel like there’s maybe 5 better days of the week which might make a bigger impact.

I wonder if the alligators will think they taste like bubblegum… /s. Seriously though, looks like a nice peaceful relaxing outing!
