      6 months to organize. A lot of people have to work on Saturdays.

      It will be interesting to see if the general strike on 5/1 has any impact, that’s on a Friday.

        Have you learned how the Iron Curtain finally fell? A substantial part of the GDR was protesting. Every f-ing Monday. And they did not have Fakebook or Twatter to “organize”. They just showed up.
