The other option is to boycott everything — bring the entire economy to a halt. Don’t show up to work, don’t shop, block the highways, stop paying taxes, etc. I guarantee the entire situation would be fixed in under a week.
Of course, this requires critical mass. And everyone is so conditioned to get to work on time and not endanger their next paycheck, that it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Things will have to get worse before they get better.
