Part of OWS was about how there are no jobs for people just out of college... I have needed 0-2 years experience people for a job that pays $60k on target in downtown Phoenix with direct access to nearby buses (1 block away) and the light rail (3 blocks away). Full benefits and a matching 401k. I was supposed to hire up to 12 for our Jan 14th training class. Guess how many I got? 2. And I only got 4 or 5 people in for interviews.
The problem is the college grads want the jobs to come to them and don't want to work for their money. Stop whining and look for the jobs... they are out there. Yes, you will actually have to put in a solid work day every day if you want to make more than you can at McDonalds. But I guess it's easier to whine while on daddy's dime than to put in any time finding work.

I got an internship summer before my senior year which paid almost $18 an hour - unheard of ever in my life. Then when that internship ended they brought me back in the only way they could - a consultant, that paid $13 an hour with no benefits. I stuck it out, in 4 months got full time back to $18 an hour in a crappy help desk job, now at 24 I was promoted to a position with great flexibility and $60k a year. Within 3 years of suffering I'm making bank and responsible for very important things. (kinda scary hehe)

I don't like the movement, but planning assassinations and defining these people as terrorists is pretty despicable. Any dissent in this county from this point out is going to be branded 'terrorism' and once you movement gets that brand, anything goes. Locked up with no trial? Sure. Killed from a secret list? Could happen! It's not about the occupy movement, it's about how our government reacts to these situations.ulf wrote:OWS = wahhh
Spend that much effort actually trying to find a job, and I bet you'd end up with a job.
The Federal Reserve of Richmond, Virginia had its own private security surveilling Occupy Tampa and Tampa Veterans for Peace and passing privately-collected information on activists back to the Richmond FBI, which, in turn, categorized OWS activities under its "domestic terrorism" unit.
