Elected officials called brookfield and threatened to make life difficult for them if they went ahead with the eviction.
What do you or anyone think about that? I think Bloomberg is po'd about that. I suppose everyone is hoping for bad weather to disperse the crowd.
How about they get NOTHING! And if they don't work, they don't eat. That's how my Grandpa explained things to me so many years ago.
The crowd will only get bigger. And eventually will start working on things like bringing back Glass-Steagall, outlawing certain kinds of derivatives, excessive leverage, transaction tax and much much more.
Didn't read the article, too many talented writers with information worth reading to waste time on her. And I don't know personally about this sit in thing, I'm not much of a group type of guy, but my thoughts are it's about opportunity and fairness. A worker busting his ass to barely make ends meet with little hope for improvement in the future sees the wealthy on the news bankrupt the government with bailouts then give themselves huge bonuses and raises while they, the middle class, can barely make their payments. And in some cases can not get a job that pays enough to live on. Well folks that is what I think this is about, not about handouts but about a chance at a better life and about fairness. If wallstreet was PR smart they would buy the crowd pizzas and invite a few at a time to the office for a kinda protester at work friday. A PR smart Wallstreet would join the protesters in working to raise employement in America because it comes down to this, America is great in large part because of our strong middle class and high standard of living and it's to everybodys benefit to have policies that keep our middle class strong and opportunities for our young strong also.
And what do you do, keep supporting the same politicians who keep the game going. Rinse and repeat. I'm amazed at the level of stupidity on display with these Occupy idiots. Not one them when interviewed had ever heard of the Frank Dodd bill. They have no idea what the real world is like but they have a pretty good idea what it should look like from the comfort of a university classroom with a big chalkboard. These ignorant punks don't want work. They want a new system where money just flows out of someone else's ass and lands in their bank account while they figure out how to run cars on fairy dust and star power. Love and peace!
