you put your sit it, put your sit out, thats what its all about

Workers in Chicago are 'sitting in' at the factory that just laid them off. I wonder if this trend will continue especially if factories close. The need for people to work is not only to help the income but people are lost without their job. Why people get up in the morning is to go to work, humans are creatures of habit. Now calling work a habit might not seem the most appropriate but it sits ok with me. Without this habit people are lost, their drive and mental health is effected.

Fear not for other countries have gone through the same thing on a bigger scale and much closer in history that our 'Great Depression'. I personally am inspired by Argentina, whose cartoneros have cut the waste of Buenos Aires by over a quarter in the past decade. Humans are inventive survivers. In Argentina there was a factory that opened up with the sole work of formers employees getting together to produce. This was documented in a movie called The Take this is what should inspire the workers of americ who get laid off. If there is demand for the product that they produce then they should keep producing it regardless if there is a CEO at the top who is able to manage and make money off of it.

This has happened throughout history and food has been one of the sources of desire for those living off the left overs. The picture at the top is called The Gleaners, it is also the title of a movie about people who still do that in europe. People who comb the fields and eat the products thought not fit for market. The movie should be inspiration, along with the story of The Take for those people who feel despair and fear in the oncoming economic doom.
