Last night I was following the continuing protesting against Big Corps and the bankers of Wall Street. The umbrella name is called ‘Occupy Wall Street’. Scores of protesters have been down on Wall Street in New York protesting the actions of the bankers and corporations who subvert our democracy and who didn’t go to jail after crashing the economy in 2008. I support their efforts 100% but one tweet last night kind of shocked me and made me laugh in a sad way. I think the current protesters need a refresher course on how to protest corporate power. It doesn’t include complaining when a big corporation doesn’t serve you food.
Of course I’m NOT saying give up your iPads and stop using the AT&T cell phone network (although if you want to go all in that’s what I would do) but at least use local sources and people when you can. You can’t tell me there was no small mom & pop shop open or willing to be open to offer protesters a chance to eat?
If you really want to stick it to the corporate man, go local when you can.
