Occupy Wall Street Protests Go Global
Hugh Pickens writes "Tens of thousands of people around the world took to the streets Saturday to reiterate their anger at the global financial system, corporate greed and government cutbacks, with rallies held in more than 900 cities in Europe, Africa and Asia. 'United in one voice, we will let politicians, and the financial elites they serve, know it is up to us, the people, to decide our future,' said organizers of the global demonstration. The demonstrations by the disaffected coincided with the Group of 20 meeting in Paris, where finance ministers and central bankers from major economies were holding talks on the debt and deficit crises afflicting many Western countries. Crowds around the world were largely peaceful, but the demonstration in Rome turned violent as clashes in the Italian capital left dozens injured, including several police officers. In London, WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange made a dramatic appearance, bursting through the police lines just after 2:30pm, accompanied by scores of supporters. He climbed the cathedral steps near St. Paul's to condemn 'greed' and 'corruption,' and attacked the City of London, accusing its financiers of money laundering and tax avoidance."
I was unemployed for ten months. I got my fat ass in a job seat by offering value to the company, helping to reduce their expenses and contributing directly to their bottom line.
Note that I did not go down to some bank protest and bitch and moan that I was unemployed or ask the tax payers to pay my mortgage.
And it seems to me that if your are round filing these resumes, you are part of the problem, not part of the solution. Who knows, "beer money" may help one of these people keep their home. You don't want to give them a job...why is that? You'd rather have some idiot that you can tell what to do instead of someone who thinks for themselves? Talk about a fucking hypocrite.
Plus, it's is highly doubtful that these highly educated people you are casually dismissing as potential employees are down at the local bitch fest that is occupy my ass. More likely they are out there look for work and hoping to avoid assholes like you who probably ask questions like "why were you laid off?"or, "why haven't you found work yet?".
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
Gentleman's
Someone trying to impugn another's intelligence with bad grammar and misspelled words.
Typical.

Blah, Blah Blah.
You have a job that could help that person stay afloat until things pick up. You won't give it to him. If your accountant needed the extra work and he was willing to unclog your toilet and knew how ( the position you speak of apparently doesn't call for special skills), then you should hire him. Beer guy can go back to the dorm and eat Top Ramen like college kids are supposed to.
YOU are the problem.
