Do You Support The "Occupy"Protests?

[budlover13]

there are a million ways you can support your family without breaking any laws.

i'm sure you have an EXCUSE not to do every one of them though.

Kinda hard to get retrained or learn a new trade when you have no money and nobody is willing to hire. Trapped in a town with over 40% unemployment right now. i know how to DO many things but you have to have a license for some, get a degree regardless of whether you can do it or not just to get a job, get permits, etc.

Had a buddy who is in a similar situation and during a local parade he walked around with bottled water on ice to make a few bucks. Got shut down. No permit. He used to mow lawns for extra cash. Got shut down. No business license. Hell, you can't even really collect cans anymore around here without getting cited for theft or trespassing or some other BS charge.

But then, i guess i'm just a lazy bastard who wants everything given to him according to you.

 

[budlover13]

well then PLAN BETTER.

i always look at the "worst case scenario" and then plan for it. this way i'm ready for anything.

With as big an ego as you have you should run for president.

Easier said than done
Of cource your right, but it is not always possible.
Are you prepaired for the day robots outlaw oxegyn because it oxidises their cercuitry and shortens their life span?
You can't allways know what will happen or to what extent.

easier done then said, actually.

i am actually in the process of purchasing an oxygen generator and concentrator, since you mentioned it. i will use it to fill my oxygen bottles for glass blowing, until the robots take over.

Can you realistically expect that from everybody?

"everybody can't be in the 1%.. That's mathematically impossible.."

This system makes it seem like social economic classes are inevitable, a premise I would argue is debatable and I disagree with.

Washington states is suffering HUGE losses on the apple crops because all the illegal immigrants have been kicked out and nobody is there to pick the apples.

Or just take out the people trying to steal your money...

Meth heads robbing people
Gang members robbing people
Broke people robbing people
People robbing people

We don't need banks and government takin money out of our pockets too
At least the other ones have the courtesy to wait until a time of great need.

The Government just takes it NO MATTER WHAT...ALWAYS.

i know how to pick one but i don't know how i would hold up physically. Trying to get a job here local through a temp service but i'm not sure i can do it physically (warehouse work). Sure as hell gonna try though

As for money for a ticket to Wash, no i don't.

 

[Finshaggy]

NOOOO, they just haven't needed to bad enough yet.
"Not letting them" and "Not trying to rob you" are 2 WAYYYY different things

Everyone can be in the top 100% though!

For sure That's what it's all about

They'll just move onto the next park

 

[Finshaggy]

the streets in oakland are EMPTY. everyone is GONE. the news crews are trippin' because there was supposed to be a march at 8am, it's 8:30 and not one person has shown up. just a bunch of garbage everywhere.


it's over.

Sounds like they stood up town hall, and made other plans for 8....

Not 1 person showed up???

Then they ALL must be elsewhere

 

[dukeanthony]

Hey budlover
DO NOT SUBMIT
Resumes to more than 2 temp services
It will fuck you over
And if you havent already
Go to craigslist. Companys advertise there now cause it is free

 

[Finshaggy]

nobody is robbing me. i won't let them.

And the government robs you every tax day.

 

[fdd2blk]

yes, exactly. trying to rob me and me letting you rob me are 2 different things. you got it.

only YOU can change YOU.

they were supposed to come from oakland and san francisco to protest at berkeley at 8 am this morning. they showed a wide angle shot at 8:45 and there were 7 students and a teaching sitting on the steps. some dude in the background pulling some moves on a freshman as well. looked like she was falling for it.


they moved to a new park in oakland but the local homeless are pissed because none of these people are even from oakland. they have set up tents but no one is fucking with them, yet.


i changed the channel to the price is right,

This will drive the price of apples higher which will in turn make the companies who need them to be picked offer a better wage. Just wait and see.

So how do you protect yourself from inflation?
