Yeah so I'm pretty
I'm a fat-***
There won't be any US news coverage about this lol. These people are protesting many things, one of the major ones is that the wealthiest 1% owns 40% of the country. Another is that large corporations hold more power over our government than the people. Since the news is run by the wealthy and the corporations, no news station will cover it. I agree with these protests, and if I lived closer, I would be there right now. The whole US system is really F***ed up right now, and we need it to change. Several months back, I protested in my state's capitol for similar reasons. Our governor, Scott Walker, is a douche.In case you guys didn't figure this out by now, I'm very liberal.
So you participated in the unions strikes in Wisconsin? That's awesome. We need unions. Apparently, on monday, ten thousand Union workers marched with Occupy Boston. Phenomenal numbers.I went down to occupy Boston the other day because I live only an hour and a half away. It seemed like everyone was still a little rattled by the previous night. But I got to talking to people, and a lot of them are pretty down to earth. Unfortunately, mostly the rude and/or more radical people are the ones who really stand out.
I loathe referring to government as "the man" or "the machine", but it IS an apt comparison. Unfortunately, I've been barred from viewing spoilers cuz of some glitch, sooooo yeah.
