Your thoughts: Occupy Wall Street

[Godfather]

Imagine this:

In my Tim Horton's there's an ATM.I like using cash at this Tims because the staff has a little tip cup and they're good to me.
So my 1.79 XL coffee costs:

1.79 coffee
.21 tip
1.50 atm charge
1.50 bank charge

5 DOLLARS!


I should be a little more pro active I guess

Yeah maybe hit your own bank's ATM I'm with RBC which is nice because Esso and Chevron both have their machines inside at their gas stations. Love that.

Michael Moore was on Jimmy Fallon tonight... I think he's a big weenie but he had a few apt things to say about Occupy (obviously overly supportive in spite of some of their criminal/destructive aspects but...)

I liked when he said "democracy is not a spectator sport." People forget this a lot. Myself included.

And that this generation of young people with huge public debts being inherited are going to be paying for it for the rest of their lives, and there's now this mentality that you need to hurry up and go to college and then hurry up a get a job for the rest of your life instead of actually being young and dreaming and reaching a bit. This is all obviously true, and it's sad.

He only says things like that when it fits his agenda. Funny that he didn't feel the same way last year and before with the Tea Party protests here in the US

Well I don't like it because he said it, that's for sure I like it because it's just a good point

Most of the time I don't do shit to help.

Really? Bankers alone caused the recession?

Then none of this was caused by politicians deregulating the banking industry? None of it was caused by the CRA? None of this was Freddie and Fannie's fault? None of it was caused by the ratings agencies assigning AAA ratings to bad mortgages? None of it was caused by people taking out loans they couldn't afford? None of it was AIG and the credit default swaps they underwrote?

Assigning blame to a single group shows how little you know what about what actually happened.

yup, and most people that support OWS cant understand how bad government policies begot these...bad...government...policies..
