Rate the Rating Agencies! (Keep Wall Street Occupied, Part 2)

[jesusrosan]

If you are thinking in change this idea for a reality: goteo.org/project/kalification

It's time to we rate the ratings agencies!

[ytypo123456789]

Flagging as inappropriate on Google as it violates their commenting policy.

"Don't spam or post fake reviews intended to boost or lower ratings."

Not that these reviews are necessarily fake but they are spam nonetheless and are intended to lower their ratings.

downgrade eurozone, while at the same time going short on the euro. Nice rating agencies. Don't forget to downgrade Mars

Love it - Just want to make another suggestion: Rate the FICO people also. What a scam system that came into place in the 1980's. What younger generations don't sometimes realize is that FICO did NOT exist when I was a kid! And as a Landlord I can definitely tell you - that having a perfect credit score does NOT mean someone will pay their rent. I've had people with lousy credit be better tenants than people with "great FICO" scores. What really matters - is reference checks - not FICO.

Too bad the SEC doesn't use Yelp to decide who to recognize as a national ratings organization... A cute idea but I doubt any of the rating companies give a rats a__ about what Yelpers think about them...

Just rated Fitch! 1 State Street, New York, NY 10004

This has got to be the funniest video I have seen since that idiot suggested sending door shims to bank mail centers!!!! At least this one won't cost the post office millions in disposal fees!!!

Thanks for the belly laugh!

[JudeHider]

i occupied the bklyn bridge last night - brrr - cold weather - crowd & energy of the people kept us warm. i have been angrily mailing back those postage paid envelopes for yrs with debt slave written inside. i now have a new after work hobby, thank you. & i think you are brilliantly funny & would adopt you - but i have 3 grown & 1 grandchild :))

I admire and fully support your way of "Occupying"....there are many ways to do so. We need those inspiring members out in the streets stating the facts, educating, and letting EVERYONE know that we know (as a community, as a country) what is going on, as well, well spoken representatives to show how versatile and REASONABLE this protest is, and how everyone can do something. I will be sharing this video with anyone who will watch, as well as forming work groups. I look forward to more!

[yankydoodle83]

You are brilliant. You show an innate understanding of the fallacious financial system and how the rating agencies were complicit in causing the economic collapse. Stay strong!

[lauramadigan]

with more than 3,000 views and only a few "dislikes" i expected to see more reviews written. what's the problem here?

[JusticeForPinoys]

or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. "Occupy" is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America. "Occupy" is nothing short of a clumsy,

[springmum1]

Who is this guy?? I LOVE him! Of course you're from San Francisco: you're an intelligent activist, well-dressed, an independent thinker, and nice on the eyes ;-) You, Sir, are doing a wonderful service to help the protest. Thank you for taking the time :-)

[rwfw74]

The "Banks" that pushed interest only loans are mortgage originators. The "largest fraud" was what - the real estate bubble? Do you know how many people who ARE bankers and you work in finance lost as part of the financial collapse? Do you know how many government workers in greece had 200% raises Y/Y on borrowed money? You should actually go take some finance classes if you're going to cast so many aspersions, friend.

[CSDBoucher]

I wanted to say I appreciate you taking your time to subtitle your video which enabled me to follow and understand what you're saying.

[ransackedroom]

@CSDBoucher : I've captioned the other two videos as well. Also, there's a French subtitled version of Part 1 floating around out there. I'm so thrilled that these videos are available to so many people.

[juan98374893]

waiting for more vids!!

[ewm90]

Grate, keep the ideas coming.

More feasible opportunities for making this protests more efective. There is so much more we can do then yelling at buildings its time to take it to the next level.

Thanks for showing leadership even if it is only you tube clips.

I would like to see some suggestions on different things protesters can do to improve geting heard and relating to every one as necessary.

[erykmynn]

Great follow-up to the first!

[ransackedroom]

The three big rating agencies are Moody's, Standard & Poor's, and Fitch. All three are headquartered in New York; two have offices in Chicago and San Francisco as well. Please rate on Yelp.com, Google Maps, Loopt, and FourSquare.

We'll be setting up a blog to celebrate your creativity! Stay tuned! -Ransacked

[semrah4589]

Absolutely brilliant! Thank for giving such a creative and sane voice. I'm sharing your vids.

[Ovsop]

Thank you. I'm sending links to your videos to Occupy Mendocino.

[mwalters6688]

Nice.

Make sure to type "New York" or "Chicago" into the help search box.

Took me a second...

[occupytheworld22]

[iamelisabethparker]

Thanks for the fabulous evil genius ideas! I look forward to giving credit reporting agencies & other financial firms negative FICO (Financially Incompetent Corporate Operation) scores. ;^). Keep up the good work!

[iamelisabethparker]

Brilliant
