THE DAY THE WORLD WENT ON STRIKE

Striking is becoming a real 'fad' these days as more and more people are holding out for shorter hours and more pay. I was sitting at home one afternoon, pushing oatmeal through my screen door, when suddenly I thought to myself, "What would happen if the entire world went On strike?" Not just North America, but the entire world? If every single human stopped working, demanding better conditions. Nobody could raise the extra money because all the superiors would be off work too. There would be no compromising talks, because the compromisers are also unsatisfied with their jobs. Life as we know it would stop. There would be no manufacturing of anything. We would all have spare time, but no way to spend it. We couldn't buy anything or go anywhere. We couldn't even eat food because there would be nobody to sell it to us. The strike would never end because there would be nobody to order anybody back to work. Humans would become non-existent.

What a waste of an afternoon.
