It's weird that everyone here talks about OWS as some sort of organized movement.
It was just an ad hoc collection of disgruntled people.
It had a significant political impact in the first few weeks, but fizzled out (and degenrated) due to lack of leadership and direction.
It IS still significant in that it does indicate that there's a huge amount of pissed off people in this country - and that their anger is against the financial & business sector - not the government.
I don't expect OWS to continue as an organization. But there will be others, perhaps with better leadership and defined goals.
This is exactly on target.
All the OWS noise is a bunch of whining. But you never hear any solutions. Just bitching.
The people know they are being fucked, but have no clue exactly what to do about it because they don't fully understand the depth and scope of the problems. All we get in the way of solutions is "tax the rich more", which would solve nothing.
