Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

When they can account for the anomaly, such as in the case of a blizzard or planned and openly discussed protests, they can easily account for the anomalous entry. If at the end of the quarter their books still balance because everyone spent the money on Thursday they would have spent on Friday then there is no actual impact being felt here. You are vastly overestimating the response to a single dip in the books while entirely ignoring the context around the dip.
sure if this is the one and only thing. its the opening salvo. a shot across the bow. they can ignore it but they can't say they were not warned.
You don't even have an outcome you want to achieve. No goal, no demands, just a generic grumpiness.
It's like a Monty Python skit.
But again, you're operating under this naive idea that any action is good and holds no potential for detriment. That's just not realistic. If I need to get to France from the UK there are tons of valid methods to get you closer but donning concrete shoes with the intention of walking across the ocean floor isn't going to work for obvious reason.
You're not just suggesting folks brave the channel in their concrete shoes, you're also trying to tell the rest of us that we're not allowed to point out the obvious flaw in that plan.
That's bullshit.
