Need a plan beyond 1 day which is a rounding error for profits of big corporations. They don't care. If they do, they'd likely recoup it by punishing everyone in the form of raising fees/prices etc. Or buyout the smaller companies that couldn't weather the storm, thereby eventually leading us to less choice (think oligopoly). We would still lose.
It would have to be sustained well beyond 1 day which would be difficult to maintain and organize that many people for a long period of time and stay committed to the cause (think of all the disinformation, psyops and other types of warfare to divide or weaken the group). If the group manages to last long enough, there will also be suffering there too, maybe even innocents involved in that collateral damage.
But say they raised a white flag and offered promises or whatever the group demanded, would we take it? It would just reestablish the power dynamic; that we need them to give us the handout. As long as that dynamic exists, we will never be free.
And you can be sure if both sides come back thinking they got the fair deal, there may not be a next time, since laws and other methods to deter such an event from happening again will become more draconian.
Occupy Wall St was a good shot, but look at how much things have changed since then.
