    I think the main difference between miners strikes and this is that if you used coal for heating/cooking you didn’t have a lot of alternative options other than just not heating your home.

    Not really a viable option.

    Still, I was just more curious whether this was a posting for awareness that it was happening or if “don’t cross the picket line” was shared for solidarity.

      Bit of both, really! I feel like using a business (in this case, clicking links) counts as crossing the picket, whether you (physically) work there or not.
