I've seen many criticisms over the internet based calls for a general strike saying there needs to be a bunch of groundwork accomplished ahead of time, that is often not done'

My best understanding is it really would be like a siege, where the strikers would need to have supplies of food and water and methods for sanitation built up before striking.

Regulating Big Tech is like regulating a malignant tumour. You don’t regulate a malignant tumour. You cut it out, with enough of a surgical margin to ensure you get every last putrid bit to avoid regrowth.

(This is moot, of course, as we’re not even regulating Big Tech, we’re feeding it with subsidies, government contracts, and access to national healthcare and other sensitive data while the folks who should be regulating them eye their next lucrative gig beyond the revolving doors of their lobbies.)
