new week, less hope

After the first day of the new week, how are folks feeling? Anyone feeling hope for making their money this week? I know it's early, but i think we are feeling pretty dismal about our chances, and are sick of convincing ourselves it could get better.  That's the deal with commission based pay, it creates a facade that we are in control of our pay and if we just worked harder it would be worth.  But we're sick of working harder and getting paid less than minimum wage. 
Who'se down for striking?  Who has nothing to loose, and who would risk what they might loose to stand in support? It's easier for the teams who arn't making any money to strike, because we have nothing left to loose - but for a strike to be successful we need the teams who are actually making the company money to join us.  We need enough teams that they couldn't find enough other teams to replace us. 
If there isn't enough folks to have an effective strike, the teams who would quit anyways could all quit on the same day as a giant "fuck you" and  feel some sense of solidarity with each other and vengeance against btw. (maybe with some collective statement that might make things better for future teams?)
Let's get a list of teams who are totally down and teams that would strike in solidarity.  talk more on the google document under the same login and password as this blog?
