I became convinced of the lack of meaning to this movement when there was an attempt to start an "Occupy Pueblo, Colorado" group together. Pueblo is a VERY blue-collar town with a bunch of industry jobs. There's like 37 dollars in the entire town. Nobody in Pueblo has any wealth. That spoke volumes to me. It is, once again, the protest for the sake of protest. Like Tom said above, it's easy to get homeless people and bored college kids together to protest.
Makin' sweet love to CMBs since 2001.

Now that authorities realize the protests have no real support, they're shutting them down Tom - 29/10/2011 06:43:30 PM 757 Views
In fact, attempts to crack-down seem to have back-fired so far Sports_Gambler - 01/11/2011 09:29:10 AM 1011 Views

I wouldn't go that far. One clear demand is a reimposition of Glass-Steagal. Tom - 30/10/2011 04:56:40 PM 830 Views
One good thing is coming out of the protests, though. Tom - 30/10/2011 05:00:52 PM 851 Views

The governments had to rescue the banks because banks have REGULAR people's money. Rebekah - 01/11/2011 08:05:56 AM 804 Views

Yes, so much of OWS seems like protesting for the sake of protesting. Mats Gambling Buddy - 08/11/2011 11:02:01 PM 745 Views
