Occupy: San Francisco

 

The San Francisco group I found were mostly camping outside the Federal Reserve Bank. They seemed a bit unruly and disorganized, ,but they had probably been camping overnight outside the Fed Reserve for days. They had lots of food there.

My complaint about these protest like the one in Oakland, (though the S.F group get points for protesting outside the Federal Reserve Bank). is that I don't believe it is going to do much good lobbying these people at financial institutions, particularly like this, they've (wall Street) made millions if not, billions of dollars by all this money wrangling, and in this case, Money Talks, Bullshit walks. I took a walk , the protesters still stuck around.

Most of the protesters there probably didn't know what the "Glass Stegall act was? Not like its a big deal, but it was, and if you want to understand about how the U.S got to where it is now financially, it seems to me you have to know about "Glass Stegall". Instead It seems alot of the protesters were spouting some crap about 1% vs 99%, has if they are the 99% protesting against a 1% in America who have all the wealth, and wield power. While it may be true,it seems like a lousy argument,we are still a society of laws and even a democracy. We can still vote. In fact Its my contention that in protesting these financial institutions in the U.S, they really ought to be Complaining/Protesting about ,and to, there government legislators.

It is the legislators that are mostly responsible for all the changes going one that has adversely affected the 99%. In Fact Dianne Feinstein, a ordinarily fine senator, voted for the repeal of Glass-Steagall,in favorof the Gramm ....machination.



One of Her offices in S.F was just a couple of blocks, down the street. Yet there were no protesters there! These legislators helped in large part made all these changes possible.

The Voters /Protesters should let her know there dissatisfied with her , and her voting record, instead these protesters do things like disrupting a bank like Wells Fargo ( Ha!)..they just only get arrested and make a nuisance of themselves. Lest they'll be noticed. But the other thing about some of these protesters are the disaffected, people who have lost there jobs, lost there homes, pensions, can't get jobs. They feel powerless, so for some of them , they tend to believe that anarchy is the way for them in a system that will not consider them or listen to them.

The protesters are at a "rock and a hard place". The Wall Street types might not listen much to these people, even there legislators might not listen much, in the end, but at least if the Legislators end up being unfaithful to the protesters , they can vote them out. That is there main trump card.
