Occupy Wall Street live General Assembly meeting
 

If you want to watch an infamous General Assembly meeting of Occupy Wall Street, you can see it live, here. They are spending some of that half-million they received in donations.

Love the finger twitch approval of up or down they're using. Reminds me of a trader on Wall Street. LMAO

BTW you remind me of a 25-year-old crow trying to return to the nest for care, only it's a robin's nest you're invading.

You have a bad knee and arthritis, not my fault or anyone else's fault, so YOU pay for that situation and let at least me go to BC with a pocket full of MY money.

I don't care about you, much more your knee or arthritis.

Except you have to make a drunken post pointing out how that's not true? :D

Sorry, Dell - as you've been told before - so many times before, but I know that reality rarely enters your alcohol-fogged mind - no, I no longer have a bad knee (it's been fixed), no I don't have arthritis, and yeah, I paid cash for the surgery.

So your pathetic, drunk attempt to somehow make yourself a victim of .... something ... is a rather big fail. :tro:

BTW - I challenged you to a 5K - you said you could only do 50 yards or so. Have another drink. Looks like my insurance money will pay for your liver. Not very fair, that those of us who take care of ourselves, have to pay for the losers like you in our insurance premiums.

I'm sorry, I thought you were telling the truth when you said you went to an exchange for affordable premiums because of a pre-existing condition of arthritis or the likelihood of arthritis in the future.

And how in the hell will your insurance premiums pay for anything to do with my healthcare? BTW around last Christmas, my heart/organ scan and blood work tested (at my own cost) was perfect. So your imaginary liver disease is just that, imaginary.

Right now, if you were telling the truth and went through an exchange, we’re all paying for yours. Well not those camping on Wall Street but certainly the CEO’s and many others they are protesting against. Instead of constantly whining and complaining why don’t you just quietly say thank you and read a story on how great Sharia law will be in Libya.

And to think you're still a registered republican. :zz:

You are one of the emptiest people I have ever met.

Coming from you?

BarakAllahu feekum!!!

Try to keep up. I'll type slowly for you, Dell:

Insurance companies will often stop insuring you for something you have had in the past. It's called "pre-existing conditions". Although my one joint with arthritis secondary to meniscal injury is literally gone (replaced with titanium), and I have zero other arthritis, and I have resumed 100% complete function as I had prior to injury, the insurance company will no longer insure me for any "osteoarthritis" in the future.

Do you think that's fair? That if, 25 years from now, I develop arthritis in a hip, the insurance company should not have to cover it?

And no. You are not paying for me. I am paying for me. You've never seemed able to understand what health care was actually passed, compared to what Erik Erikson and Andrew Brietbart and Faux News have told you to think, even though it's been explained to you multiple times. Your deliberate and proud ignorance, your deliberate and repetitive misstating of facts that have long been in existence for other people, explains alot of your posts.

You are more prone to develop arthritis because of titanium in your knee and although you should not be refused coverage for future arthritis treatment you certainly should pay a higher rate than someone without a titanium knee.

You seem to think setting up these exchanges was magic, free or that the Department of Health and Human Services is a non-profit charity. True fellow citizens of KY will ultimately be responsible for subsidizing your care directly I will be subsidizing those whom the government deems deserving of such including Kentuckians.

No, Dell. You are not "more prone to develop arthritis" in a titanium knee because there's no bone. Duh. A traumatic injury (meniscal tear) that results in localized arthritis has nothing at all to do with the possible development of "old age" arthritis elsewhere, such as a hip or wrist, a couple decades down the line.

Why should I pay a higher rate for future unassociated illnesses that develop due to different causation because I was once injured, but am now fixed and healthy?

That is exactly the type of consumer fraud the PPACA is intending to prevent.

No, I don't. I know exactly how they are set up, and who is paying for them (the people IN them), and who is administering them.

You, on the other hand, are filled with nonsensical imaginary musings over what "Obamacare" is, and your factual knowledge of the PPACA has been repeatedly demonstrated to be non-existent, consisting only of your imaginary musings.

And the worse thing is that you simply, deliberately, frankly, refuse to learn the facts about what is actually in it, preferring to spit out, over and over, your nonsensical imaginary talking points.

Like you just did. Again.


No. Only in your fevered, anti-Obama imagination.

This 'meeting' on Occupy Wall St. speaks volumes!

Couple of questions come to mind.

Are the vagrants, criminals and other freeloaders part of the 99% or 1%?

And are the Occupy Wall Streeters against providing food to vagrants, criminals and freeloaders or just THEIR food?

I think their opposition is toward the fact that they are working extremely hard and feel taken advantage of by some. Sorta like the reason behind the protests in the first place. Whenever you have a protest movement, you are bound to attract a certain amount of folks that are there purely for their own self interest (in this case free food and maybe a chance to steal from other protestors). Unfortunate on two levels, first because these folks take advantage of the situation and second because it give fuel to those looking for reasons to oppose the movement. Sorta like using the fact that a few welfare recipients take advantage of the system to cast anyone on welfare as a degenerate loser (you are familiar with that logic, aren't you?). In the 60's the Civil Rights Movement and later the Peace Movement saw the same thing...were there anarchists and communists who became involved in both movements...sure. But they were used by those in power to degrade entire movements....just ask J. Edgar Hoover.

The article makes it clear, they are becoming the 98% for now. Not liking the bottom 1% either. Soon it will be "we are the 50%" followed shortly by the ever popular, "looking out for number 1". People are people.

Sigh ... the "usual menu of organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheep’s-milk-cheese salad" crap was disproven as a lie. You know, by people who went to the park and saw what is being fed?

Dell, when are you going to open your eyes, and start making up your own mind? Instead of so willingly being told what to think without question?

The "mainstream media" has been overtly lying about OWS, especially what happened in Oakland, and you'd think a willing conspiracy theorist believer like you would pick up on that.

The mainstream corporate-owned media has been successfully circumvented by YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. The police attack against the Oakland protesters was shown live, thus when they lied in the press conferences there was already video out there proving them liars. They don't like being shown up, and shown as incompetent or liars.

I wonder if there are any protestors who fall just outside the top 1%? I think it is comical for anyone making over say $250k a year to think they are united in an economic struggle with common folks.

Data survey of 1,619 respondents placed on occupywallst.org reveals the following about OWS supporters:

* 64.2% are younger than 34 years of age.
* One in three respondents is older than 35, one in five respondents is 45 and older.

* 7.9% of respondents have a high school degree or less.
* 92.1% of the sample has some college, a college degree, or a graduate degree.
* 27.4% have some college (but no degree), 35% have a college degree, 8.2% have some graduate school (but no degree), close to 21.5% have a graduate school degree.
* This is a highly educated sample.

* 26.7% of respondents were enrolled in school, 73.3% were not enrolled in school.

* 50.4% were employed full-time, an additional 20.4% were employed part-time.
* 13.1% of the sample are unemployed.

* 2.6% of respondents were retired, 1.3% disabled, 2.6% homemakers and 9.7% are full-time students.

* 47.5% of the sample earns less than $24,999 dollars a year and another quarter (24%) earn between $25,000 and $49,999 per year.
* 71.5% of the sample earns less than $50,000 per year.
* 15.4% of the sample earned between $50,000 and $74,999.
* The remainder 13% of the sample earn over $75,000 with close to 2% earning over $150,000 per year.

* 27.3% of respondents considered themselves Democrats, another 2.4% said they were Republican.
* A very large proportion of the sample, close to 70.3%, considered themselves Independents.

United? No. Struggle? absolutely. Two friends of mine. A divorced guy who lives (lived) in Manhattan, with two kids and an ex-wife to support is struggling more than most just to to maintain. What about another who makes his 250K+ as a Doctor and is therefore saddled by 300K+ in debt? Not to mention the insane insurance premiums he needs to pay in order to practice medicine. It is all relative really.
The numbers are different but the old saying "mo' money, mo' problems" was made up by successful poor people for a reason.

^^^^^^^^coming from a person who bases here judgment on muslim arranged marriages on a couple of grad students she knows.

Bump!
