Will Occupy Wall Street Change Anything? Michael Brooks Interview

[eswyatt]

"[G]ranular" and "assuming ownership around these issues"; new, hip ways of using familiar words. So if you don't understand highly complex and "granular" stuff like derivatives, you can still take ownership around these issues and make positive changes. Same if you need brain surgery; don't worry you don't have the understanding of a neurosurgeon. Just assume ownership around it and tell the doc how you want it done.

Wall street is only doing what Washington is allowing them to do. Politicians changed rules in order for wall street to be able to do the things they are doing. Wall street screamed if we die, you die which was a total lie. Everything they predicted would happen if they weren't bailed out has happened, but they are the cause, they stuffed billions of our dollars into their coffers and now refuse to do with it what it was given to them to do.

Why not occupy DC or the outside the offices of politicans that have been in office for 15+ years? The policies that come out of DC, for decades, have hurt the job market.

[dapop1001]

A root problem is not having a voice.Wall street buys the politicians and the "free press', the system has to change. There are more then college kids there. America was made to be free but has been turned into a police state run by corporations that are above the law. Someone stole or lost 20% of the wealth that Americans aquired over 200 years and no one got arested for anything. More people have to understand what happened before we can decide what our demands will be. United we stand! Peace

theoretically ,what exactly is this OWS thing supposed to be about ,i havent seen any kind of slightly coherant explaination from any of the actual marchers themselves .david mentions that he would like BOA to "do something" about forclosures ,would this mean as in ceaseing the trustees sales and surrendering the lenders position ? pls explain anyone ..

[pidevildog07]

Either they want Revolution or they want reform. Reform requires protest, revolution requires violence.

[slytherinspy1960]

we should start getting more specific! let's do this shit!

[NoCommentChick]

Hell, I'd be thrilled if OWS changed David's self hating liberalism and Lewis's backdoor conservatism.

[hawk44256]

I disapprove of the Occupy movement, simply because they aren't accomplishing anything, and sound like a bunch of people wasting their time and not making a difference, due to their lack of a voice.

[loloioi]

@hawk44256 they just need more people and people like you sitting in front of your computer not doing anything is pathetic

[hawk44256]

@loloioi they have plenty of people, they have too many goals all at once, and they're very disorganised and stubborn. and you're assuming that I just sit in front of my computer, which is untrue. the occupy movement needs to focus their goals and speak with one loud voice, not many quiet ones.

[loloioi]

@hawk44256 maybe you should go help then talking to me.

[hawk44256]

@loloioi well for one it's 11pm, two, why the hell would i want to help them when they're just a bunch of idiots who think they're doing something? they aren't going to get anything done, they're camping when they could be doing something progressive instead of just waste their own time.

[loloioi]

@hawk44256 What i believe: You should only criticize if you have a solution. You're just wasting your time. You're apart of the majority that's going to get fucked. That's reality.

[hawk44256]

@loloioi then what's their solution? It doesn't take a visionary to point out a problem, anybody can do that, how do the "protestors" think it can all be fixed? Think about what you say before you say it, because you're just making yourself look stupid.

[BrotherAlpha]

@hawk44256 The big solution is get money out of politics. Corporations and the rich have too much power. Once you get that fixed, some of the smaller problems become easier to deal with.

[loloioi]

@hawk44256 live i've said again. Criticize if you have a solution. To me your just spitting at my face thinking you know everything. Sorry dude but you're the few % that wants no change and basically want to continue suckign corporate cock. Fine by me.

[hawk44256]

@loloioi no, i'm willing to accept your "change" if you'll give me some examples. I want specific examples of the changes you want made. If you can't do this then you don't have a reason to complain. you're just whining because life sucks, get over it. so unless you have some dead on examples on problems and solutions to fix said problems, you're just whining. so instead of spending your time complaining, why don't you do some reasearch and come up with a solution to whatever you don't like?

[loloioi]

@hawk44256 Oh and btw, whining isn't a really great way to explain things. Your basically Whining to me that you dont know shit. Mmm cool satan christ cool beans. man you americans are so dumb.

[hawk44256]

@loloioi if you aren't american why do you give a rats ass what's going on with this retarded occupy movement? and I know plenty about the occupy movement, and I disagree with them on the majority of it because they're all left-wing democrats I'm not whining, i just want to know what your solution is, lets hear it, because you seem to be avoiding that at all costs.

[loloioi]

@hawk44256 Oh really? You seem to be a freaking retarded red neck. HAH! You seem good to be dodging questions for a fox cock sucker! Looooool.

[hawk44256]

@loloioi you haven't asked me any questions dipshit. you're a retarded fucking troll who obviously doesn't know anything about politics, and are a blind follower, go back to watching FOX news you democratic piece of shit.

[loloioi]

@hawk44256 lol are you a red neck?

[hawk44256]

@loloioi no, i'm not, are you a politician? you seem awfully good at dodging questions. tell me what your solution is or shut the hell up.

[loloioi]

@hawk44256 lol. Im a troll? You just trolled me!

[loloioi]

@hawk44256 man, you sure are stubborn arn't you. all your problem = they caused it. I dont have to explain shit to you. Why don't you go do your own research instead of claiming that you know everything. You're not considerate of others and you think you are top of the world. Well if there wern't laws, you'd be dead on the floor by now.
