As regards cost to the economy, I don't recall that being a concern on 29 April when a certain royal wedding stopped the country!
One more point on this....
On 29th April the economy PAID for an extra public holiday. Today strikers are NOT being paid. Sure there's the knock on effect... but the costs will be significantly less, and the impact is already acknowledged as much lower than anticipated.
Certainly the cost will be less than the whole country stopping.
As for the impact, the government will do everything it can in the propoganda war to downplay the impact. What it canot do is hide the evidence from the country of the sense of injustice, outrage and anger felt by the strikers.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
