Using the trend of blocking traffic as an example, I think a coordinated effort to not just block a highway in one city, but to block state routes and other arteries in many places would be more effective. Instead of one city having bad traffic for a day, it would be many towns and it would be harder to dismiss as a local problem if people across the states are engaging.

When I got to the store the packaging said “Amerimax”. So they rebranded their shit in Canada online before their current stock was out, I guess.
