Personally I have no clue why these random hippies have decided to camp out near my favorite Sephora store and Halal food carts, but rumor has it they're mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore! They are the 99%, GODDAMMIT, and they will be heard!!! About what? Your guess is as good as mine.
I've been to their website and read what I could but still, all I've learned is that there are lots of unemployed degree-holders in these streets and that corporate America is a mean ol' poopie-faced meanie.
Whatever it is that's got these unemployed Harvard grads' panties in a bunch, it can't help that they appear to be rather disorganized. I even asked around and I got the same answer- they're not doing anything other than sitting in and occupying a public space. How are you protesting for MONTHS and don't have an actual plan of action? Didn't you go to school? ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU KEEP BITCHING ABOUT- your over-priced education
"...they are as a whole uninformed about things. And not addressing the real issues- racism, sexism, classism- because they are too busy beating on drums." -The F#$k-it List
That's what this protest is missing- a clear plan made up of possible solutions to the real problems affecting our economy. Until there is one I doubt the Wall Street fat cats will take them seriously. You're not hitting them where it hurts, crazy hippies, so they'll continue to step over you after the market closes, down some sushi & beer on John Street, run to catch the PATH train and head home to their fancy NJ estate.
And you will continue to be the butt of every joke.
*smooches...99 percent sure you haven't occupied shit, hippies*

call me when the protest gets real; I have a couple of vacation days I can take & a tambora I can borrow from N.
And shout out to Russell "Blood Diamond" Simmons and Kanye "Imma Let You Finish" West for standing with the hippies in solidarity. For a couple of hours before they flew off in a private jet and feasted on Taiwanese virgins. #sarcasm

The protests are pathetic. Rather than spending their time complaining, DO SOMETHING!!!
But that would take too much effort on their part.
Yes you have those legal immigrants with no degree that can barely speak English will be out there working 3-4 jobs without a single complaint.
HMPF!
I wonder if they think that you need is a protest? I heard one interview where they feel like this along the lines of the civil rights movement. OH REALLY?
I mean Yes, Martin Luther the King marched but he also got in front of the right people with real concrete demands. And I'm pretty sure there were no drum circles and mid day Yoga on his agenda.
@irene- that's entitlement for ya! I mean I've been there- who wants to schlep fries when you have a Master's Degree? But being able to name and analyze Shakespeare's work only pays on trivia shows!
@the f#$k-it list- MID DAY YOGA?? And it's FREE? Wait, so why do I pay for classes again? *grabs metrocard, yoga mat and placard* See you at Liberty Park!
Just make sure you bring your own mat because I heard they were using the mats down there for other things like SEX!.
