I've been watching the Occupy wall street protest, from my unemployed perch, with a mixture of envy and anger. Envy because white people, and most of these new hippies are white, always find the funnest things to do, and they find people who will pay for these flights of fancy. Want to walk around Europe for a year after high school? No problem! How about free shoes? Here you go! you have got to have a little envy for those people who can pull these things off!
But wait, it gets me mad too..
I'm mad because whatever their demands might be, it will not put one more dollar in my pocket. This is what puzzles me, what do the protesters really want? A soviet style economy? Well, we all know how that turned out for them. Maybe living like they do in Cuba? Good luck with that. No, it angers me that when people get bored, they get angry, and then they demand things they can't possible get, and all the cities involved have to spend millions on extra police presence, and guess who that affects, that right the very poor that they are protesting for.
Now hear me out, I'm not letting the banks of the hook for one moment. Here is a story about how banks are kicking military families out of their homes illegally! How about demanding that these robbers be fined adult money like 500 million dollars. If you see how much profit they make, you will understand why these banks constantly rob the poor and the underclass, and happily pay the fine.
gee now I sound like one of these hippies :)
