My take: When "the iron is hot," strike. When the opportunity arises, seize it. But, when the responsible course is patience, be not afraid of that "tranquilizing drug of gradualism." e.g.: the pandemic has, of necessity but not indefinitely, shifted a lot off the fast track.

Gradualism is more than we will get.

Time for our own Yellow Vest Movement. I suggest “checkers” as in living check to check. Three requirements: 1) mad as hell & not gonna take it anymore 2) wear checkers & agree to stand in solidarity with ANYBODY else in checkers, regardless of race, color or creed 3) SHOW UP🏁
