Occupy Wall Street

[PiKA2001]

I was watching a news story on CBS yesterday about this movement and they interviewed a few dum-dum's who quit their job so they can protest indefinitely... hopefully that move doesn't f*ck them in the long run. From what I've been hearing from these protesters (on TV) I'm starting to believe that their gripes are misdirected. They should be protesting Washington, not Wall ST.

They quit their jobs to protest? In THIS economy!?!?!

If it does f**k them in the long run...I certainly wouldn't feel bad. Their parents might, since they will probably be camping out in their basement when they are not "protesting."

And I agree 100% on the unemployment hiring regulation issue. Just an overall bad idea. What if the best candidate happens to be employed?

And I agree with this one too!

Hey, if they are "demanding" a free college education AND a living wage whether they have a job or not, why do they need to waste four years in college in the first place? Anyone else find this contradictory? Why not spend the ENTIRE four years getting stoned instead?

I saw on the local news last night that we have about 30 hippies living in tents uptown that say they're going to be there through the DNC, which is here in Charlotte. They're having port-o-potties installed and have a shift schedule for when people can go home and change clothes and shower, etc. The only thing they DIDN'T specify is where their income is going to be coming from. Even if they're living in tents on public land, they still have to eat. And the DNC is still almost a year away.
