That's outrageous. You shouldn't have to stop doing business with a company who's business practices you disagree with. The government should step in and change their business practices via regulation to ones that everyone can agree with!
Going to take my money out of BofA. Actually people who don't like bailouts should take their money out of any too big to fail bank to make that bank smaller. Less deposits, less liability for FDIC if the bank fails.
Are you referring to the Citibank incident? Calling 911 on a bunch of disorderlies probably won't destroy Citibank's trust to anybody but a bunch of wannabe revolutionists who were (supposedly) going to withdraw their account anyway.
I bet what I alone have in Citi would match what at least 100 the occupants of Zuccotti Park could do combined. Then again, a lot of them *are* trust fund babies so maybe not.
Corporations do not have the power to arrest people.
Me and my wife are moving about 100K in savings out of BOA to credit unions soon. I'm doing so tomorrow. Feels great.

This is what happens when you extend federal unemployment funds to 99+ weeks. Why go get a job when I can stand outside complaining about not having a job?
Right. The 9.1% who are unemployed (and the actual figure is more than 15%, if you count those who have given up looking and those who are under-employed and want full-time work) just have to look a little harder and they can find good jobs, is that your position?
It must be very comforting to believe that a person's problems are always their own fault, that almost none of the 25 million or so people who are un- or under-employed are actually victims of a broken system.

In this toilet bowl world some Americans find themselves luckily afloat on a turd but they forgot to throw a lifeline out to their fellows. Now the drowning have pushed the lever and we see the water beginning to spin.
Maybe they got arrested for this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2vtXJ0k7AA
His world view is predicated on the notion that personal success is the result of moral virtue and failure the result of moral weakness. His whole need is to feel superior to others because he actually feels worthless. And of course, feeling that way usually causes it to be so. Folk who are pigs are well insulated from that realization.
Too bad all of those student loans didn't provide an education on finances.Maybe they got arrested for this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2vtXJ0k7AA
Yep definitely anecdotal. Sounds like Rage187 was at the right place with the right skills and thats good for him, but how many of these stories end up like his? Hint: not many. Stay in school kids.Bullshit. Anecdotal evidence. Why is unemployment at 10%? All lazy people?
I'll share my story since I started without a degree.
1995 I dropped out of high school during my second senior year. yep, 2nd
I then went and worked at multiple BINGO halls selling bingo games on paper and working at video poker parlors
1997 I went to night school and got my diploma, not my GED
1997 My step father showed me how to build computers
2000 I joined Anandtech
Now here is where my big break came in:
2001 Video BINGO was legalized in my state and all the BINGO halls I worked at adopted them
I learned the system in and out
The company who made the Bingo electronics was looking for a local tech to service the units. I got hired because I knew their systems and the industry
2003 They were looking for a QA analyst with industry knowledge, I applied and was hired in a 5 minute interview and moved to Reno
2003 Software Tester
2004 QA Tester and I learned SQL through a SQL in 10 minutes book
2005 Software QA Engineer
2006 Senior QA Engineer (worked in England for a little but I also helped test a ticketing application for concerts, as the BINGO halls in casinos doubled as their concert halls.)
I then wanted to move back home and applied for job supporting ticketing software
Dropped from making $55k to $39k
2006 Support Analyst
2007 Support Specialist
2008 Sr. Support Specialist
2009 a position opened up on my product to be the Product Lead who is the liaison between Support and PD. Plus, you had to know SQL as we wrote our own fixes.
2009 Product Support Lead
2010 Product Support Lead II
2011 Sr. Product Support Lead
Now I do mostly project management and I'm creating my next position based on my current project of data mining of software usage statistics.
The trick to getting through your career, is keeping up momentum. Always have a plan for your next position.
I have applied to other software companies using my resume, with all the above experience and they have never asked for a degree. They always want experience. My resume always gets me a job interview and eventually an offer. But they can't offer anything close to what I make now.
I'm content with finishing my career with my current employer, because I know I can move anytime I'm ready to a different department. I just really like Support and being at the front lines.
C'mon liberal hippies. GO FOR IT! That shiny new iPhone that you can't afford can be yours if you just break the window and take it! It's the banks fault anyway, you DESERVE that new iphone - go ahead and take it! Remember, if enough of you break windows and take stuff you won't get caught! You can even get a couple ipads.
please, please, please do it!
Spidey, you're becoming more and more unhinged as this gets more and more popular. Why do you keep writing about this 'non story'? You're terrified that The People are waking up, flat out petrified that The People are finally having their voices heard.
And here I thought you would be happy for The People!
I just want them to hurry up and start getting violent and rioting like Greece and London - it's the same type of people.
