it's the cost of purchasing a house. Two people paying a landlord is more similar to having two girlfriends who pay off the mortgage. This is more like one person sharing the cost of the loan on a house they won't get to keep.

that still means she helped pay off the mortgage, and she should accordingly own a part of the house even if she "bolted"

if she helps pay the mortgage or renovations or anything that increases the value of the house she gets to own part of the house otherwise its completely unfair, split utilities according to income and thats it.

Probably best to let her dictate the price though since there is such an imbalance of power at play

Is it supposed to hit profit margins? Because I doubt it will, people will still be buying necessities at the same amount and call me cynical, but I believe almost everyone will be buying the non-necessities the days before and after.

To be candid, it just sounds like the most toothless, do-nothing, slacktivism kind of protest that's only meant to generate backpats

Ukraine? Because from what I understand the maidan would be a prime-example of it

Don’t worry. The protest won’t matter at all and a large majority won’t even hear about it.

But that's precisely what worries me, people spending effort that goes to waste instead of organizing something that effects a change

Well I guess you can't undermine a protest that isn't protesting anything but that still doesn't explain what the point of this non-protest protest is? How would a bunch of people not buying stuff for a day keep "the powers that be" (who? the capitalists? Their politicians? The police?) on their toes?

The issue with that is that the production of arms in the EU is next non-existent when compared to Russia and the US. Europe has been heavily de-industrialized and already has problems covering its energy budget. You can't just throw money at that problem, because you don't just need to rebuild factories, but infrastructure. Not to mention the brain-drain caused by academics moving to the US and China where actual research happens.
