Ask HN: What to do about a strike?

Yes, and yes.

Wrong and wrong. If it's so easy then tell me when you are CEO of a fortune 500.

No more excuses. You say just about anyone can do it, so do it.

... that's what I thought.

You say just about anyone can do it, so do it.

I said that at least 1% of the population has the capacity to do the job. I didn't say that I'm in that 1-10%-- although I probably am-- and I didn't say that I have the social connections necessary to get a F-500 CEO position-- I don't.

There's a difference between being able to do a job and being able to get the job. I will agree with you so far as that far fewer than 1% of the population can get a F-500 CEO position, but that's not because they lack the necessary competence.
