The S&P 500 has risen 375% since Occupy Wall Street demanded everyone sell all their stock

Fun times they were.

Remember when they stopped giving out free food because the NYC homeless people caught wind of it & started taking all their free food. lol

 

my wife worked across the street from the park they were sitting in. It was entertaining to see these smelly hippies with their bongo drums and wealthy bankers walking by them.

 

Smelly hippies that mostly came from wealthy, bankers and other, families.

 

When idealism meets impracticality.

The better way and simple way to protest would and still is, everyone go to cash for a month.
The cost of processing all that hard currency would be tremendous!!!!!

The small retailers would bet a 2-3% break. Then when the banks start charging for cash processing, everyone go back to e-money.

Of course some thing would remain e-transfers, such as mortgages, plane tickets etc. Just everyone cashing their paychecks would cause havoc.

 

I met @newwurldmn at a broker party where I was dressed as an Occupy Wall Street protester. My sign said “Stop Market Correlation” or something like that

 

I remember that. I was a giant penguin like the one in Billy Madison.

 

Working class kids were busy, well... working

 

Protesting capitalism while filming on their iPhones & posting to Instagram. It's the American way to protest.

This country is too wealthy to have a real revolution. That's why the progressives get no where.

 

Also because they are functionally retarded

 

In a totally unrelated way I laugh at all these off the grid Alaska shows. "Harvesting protein, living off the land" with their ATV's, gas-powered chainsaws, satellite dishes, guns with scopes, river boats with outboards, snowmobiles and no doubt fricken half the meals (at least) coming from a good ole supermarket a bit of a drive away.

The way Americans did it 200 years ago.
