Do both. The person in this story clearly was not ignore.

They do in fact care otherwise they wouldn't be so beligerent about it. It takes 3% of the country protesting to get undeniable attention and last weekend was getting close to that threshold. 330m Americans or so, the threshold is around 10m. And this weekend was counted with 7m.

Your voice does matter, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I don't know, it'd be kind of funny if there weren't any protests, just everyone goes home and plays GTA VI. It's not like the cause of the striking would be unknowable.
