occupy wallstreet?

Everyone is excited about the demonstrations across the country complaining about corporate greed but can anyone tell me exactly what solutions are being offered by the protestors. What do they suggest we do about it?

I brought it up at the board meeting this afternoon and no one there understood it either.

Kooner,

You are right. It is offering no solutions. Therefore it is doomed. It makes no  more sense than Tool wanting to turn the world back to what it was in the 1700s.

BTW Bruce Lipton does make sense. It's all biological.

Hi Kooner, thanks for responding to my question. Problem is, it (the question) still remains. Is it "corporate greed" the people are complaining about? If so, that's a silly thing. The business of business is business. The more the better. Is it the lack of jobs?  If so, I imagine that out of the thousands who are protesting, there is enough brain power and talent and muscle to start their own business's and hire each other. Maybe I'm just slow on the uptake but will you tell me, in just 2 or 3 sentences, what they are trying to achieve? Thank you in advance.

For me the Walmart heiress is a perfect example of corporate greed. On the one hand they have the class action suit against them for unfair business practices towards the female employees and on the other hand you have this woman who will inherit more money than she could possibly need even if she had 50 children. I dislike the stereotypes about the wealthy, not everyone is a skank. My grandfather was struggling back in the depression eating oatmeal sandwiches (blech) and stepping over the occasional body of a dead gangster lying in the gutter in front of his business in Jamaica , Queens to get to work. He put himself through college and put his brother through college. He wound up living on Park Ave and owning his own race horse.

He also organized help for some of the poorest of the poor. Namely the Northern Cheyenne in Montana. They still had cholera on the reservations in the 50s for Christ's sake.

The Civil Rights movement also started without a real solutions other than to stop what was happening then.

Psst, Michael.....go to "Forums" and check the discussion there. You may get some answers there.

thank you Bob, I will.

I'll be interested to find out what answers Michael found.

I'm sorry CWO3ROBBIE, I tried but I'm still at a loss. To me (and my media addled brain) it all seems like screaming at the clouds because of the rain.

Nothing personal Mr. Clubb, but your opening statement about bringing this 'occupy thing' up in "board meeting' sorta indicated that you wouldn't even begin to understand what's behind it.

There are plenty of good posts over in "Forums" with some answers if you will read them with an open mind.

Bob, that was meant to be a joke.  A bit of sacrasm.
