By all means strike! When you return to work, attempt to put no effort into the blog to make it interesting. Should you do that, you will make your slacker compatriots look like they are incompetent and a complaint will no doubt be lodged against you! Should you be so unfortunate as to somehow lose your blog, come to the U.S. via Mexico and our own incompetents in the government will allow you free medical, a housing subsidy, arrest anyone who calls you a derogatory name and will generally allow you to work sans taxes since you will be a member of the oppressed non-citizens who now inhabit almost every U.S. state! You can also claim refuge from political abusers in which case, you will no doubt be granted legal status, given a government loan for your blog, assistance with new equipment, health insurance and more. You can go lecture on the decadence of the U.S. at major colleges and earn outrageous speaking fees! Mon Dieu, why do you stay in La Belle France when you can make so much money, and then you can retire to the French countryside where you will be lauded for your enlightend words on the downfall of the U.S. and how wretched a country it is. Enjoy your strike...when you become a filty rich capitalist pig, they will hunt you down...I know, I saw it in Les Miserable'.
