Occupy Los Angeles - The Beginning Is Near from Marta Evry on Vimeo.
My friend Marta made this inspiring video at the OccupyLA encampment at City Hall here in Los Angeles. I like!
Everybody was talking about this Krugman post today-- I Am Not Your Mirror Image about Keynesianism. But I'm going to spare you the details beyond the link above and the groovy video below. Instead, let's look at the less complicated and wonky Krugman post that no one is talking about but my friend Harry, Hard Times On Wall Street. Get out your hankies:
An era of decline and disappointment for bankers may not end for years, according to interviews with more than two dozen executives and investors. Blaming government interference and persecution, they say there isn’t enough global stability, leverage or risk appetite to triumph in the current slump.
…
Options Group’s Karp said he met last month over tea at the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York with a trader who made $500,000 last year at one of the six largest U.S. banks.
The trader, a 27-year-old Ivy League graduate, complained that he has worked harder this year and will be paid less. The headhunter told him to stay put and collect his bonus.
“This is very demoralizing to people,” Karp said. “Especially young guys who have gone to college and wanted to come onto the Street, having dreams of becoming millionaires.”
Piss you off? Good. Get ready for OccupyTheBoardRoom this Saturday... details soon.

Really want to see a temporal rift open and some honest-to-God Bolsheviks storm every single one of those investment banks and bayonet every person interviewed.
Ah yr little LDS phony, Byro ratfink-troll says that here--over on Althouse, he's saying the complete opposite! Don't fall for his BS (and the protesters aren't saying bayonet people, are they? Nor do real bolsheviks. Shut them down--yes. Not liquidate).
Sure sign of the joto (and bookmarked)
Here it is as "Fred4 pres" on Althouse:
It would mean the Democratic Party would be completely out of power (with the exception of a few liberal ghettos). There is no comparison between OWS and the Tea Party other than them being political movements. Despite all the attempts of the left and MSM to mischaractorize the Tea Party, it is actually a pretty mainstream conservative movement (it's primary goal to to control government spending, how mainstream is that?). OWS is off the spectrum of electability
Same dude, believe it. No bolshevik. Rather, severely mentally ill. That's Byro Belchami, the sweatshop trash (and whitey, all the way)
