Occupy Wall Street - field report
I'm in NYC for biznez, today and tomorrow and went to visit the 911 Memorial (couldn't get in without a reservation). Walked by Zuccotti park.
What a frickin zoo fulla monkeys. The NYC tour guides are including it on their tours (really!). I encounterd a couple groups as I walked by.
Had lunch near ground zero and the locals in the pub find the whole OWS a major irritant. They said the "protest" is a lousy way to get a vague message sent to a clueless media.
The locals all know that the thing will peter out as soon as the cold weather hits. They would all prefer it be ended by weather attrition, rather than some sort of confrontation.
One waitress slapped her hand on our table and said those idiots don't know how to hold a job, which is why they are there.
Entertaining afternoon....
