Lemony Snicket's Occupy Wall Street Observations
I wish the same people who supported the occupation of wall street supported the rights of software developers and musicians.
More money is demanded from the protesters, yet when developers and musicians have a problem with people downloading their hard work without any compensation, the answer is: "you aren't guaranteed a profit".
Well occupiers, now it's my turn to say the same thing when you tell me you have a $50,000 student loan debt and you can't find a job or when you want a government-sanctioned wage increase for not doing anything more.
I feel like people that are successful are being attacked here. I've seen it time and time again with the protesters. They try to silence anyone that even has a hint of success.
Interesting, glad I read it.
I don't like to nit-pick, but I am always a bit uncomfortable when there is an implication that wealth is a "zero-sum game"
And that does seem to be implied here.
Wealth creation is complex. Be aware of oversimplification.
