Occupy

As one of the only people with a job near Detroit, I volunteered to cosplay as one of those smarmy asshole banker fucks, so we'd have somebody to occupy against.

But no seriously, the only way anything is gonna change is if the people with problems stop being invisible. So eat the rich, &c.

I think that it's fair to point out that the blue-collar jobs that those guys above have lost, it's not just they're not getting them back, but nobody is. So if you're a kid, and you're not rich enough or lucky enough to go to the American Institute of Basket-Weaving, what are you going to do?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The venn diagram of young folks who are poor and young folks who use college as Adolescence 2: Electric Boogaloo actually has very little overlap :-/

But yes, I totally concede that when the protesters are all impoverished and everyone who is negatively impacted by the protests are complicit in or directly responsible for everything going to shit then sure, behind them 100%.

I would argue that people "scraping by" on $50,000 a year are absolutely complicit in the machine that has sold off entire industries and left 15% of the citizens of the richest country in the world in absolute destitution.

How ya doing, buddy?

I mean I don't really understand what's so absolutist about "maybe we should have jobs" or at least "maybe we shouldn't treat poverty as a sin"

alternately: are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
