What I find odd is that people seem to think you could have a protest without inconveniencing the remaining 99% of society. Of course they are inconveniencing other people, including some they claim to be supporting. How could they not?
There's a difference between "inconveniencing" someone and intentionally preventing them from going to work. And the worst bit is that this only affects lower employees who the Occupy people are supposed to be fighting for. If I'm a VP at some Wall Street firm, I'm a salaried employee; if I'm two hours late to work because of protestors, I still get paid for that time. If I'm a file clerk making $10 an hour at the same firm, I don't get paid unless I'm actually at work. Two hours late because of protestors is two hours of work that I'm not getting paid for, and when you're only making $10 an hour, you NEED every bit of money you can get. It's even worse if the protestor happens to have an iPad, which, making $10 an hour, is a luxury I will pretty much NEVER have. So here's somebody who has it better off than I do preventing me from going to work to earn money for basic survival, why? Because I happen to have a job in a particular geographic location? That is the most illogical bullshit reason I have ever heard.
"You can't go to work today. We're occupying this block."
"But I make minimum wage. If I don't work, my family doesn't eat."
"You should've thought of that before you took a job on Wall Street."
"Can I at least borrow your iPhone to let my manager know why I'm late? I can't afford a cell phone on my salary."
"No, this is mine, get your own."
Occupy has become a hollow mockery of the principles it is supposed to represent. It shouldn't be about fucking the 99% who are struggling to live paycheck-to-paycheck, but that seems to be the latest tactic. That's a good way to get EVERYONE to hate you instead of just the rich folk.
