I think the wall street protests are misguided. Sure, big banks defrauded thousands of people, and so has the government. That's not WALL Street, though. Go protest those banks. Wall street, generically, is a big equalizer; anybody with a dollar can go invest and make money without going to big banks. If the thousands defrauded had managed their own money, using fundamental best practices like diversification, they would be in better shape. Just go look at the CNBC Stock Market Challenge, where anybody, with no money, can win a MILLION dollars by understanding Wall Street. Wall Street is the individual's friend, a great equalizer. If you want to protest the banks that ripped people off, get specific.
I saw one of the protesters whining about his mom lost 550k in a company pension; that's her own fault; it should have been moved out and diversified. I have a friend that had 500k in Sprint stock years ago and I always told them to move it out and diversify, but noooo. The fact that they lost their ass is their own fault.
Also, I think anyone should be allowed to pepper spray large unruly crowds. If I were a tourist, I wouldn't even have been able to walk through there. They are out of control.
Yeah, U2 and Bono specifically have long been on my list of crap to not listen to. It's not hard to believe, considering his history. Maybe he would make more money by not alienating his customer base with his egotistical eccentricities and act more like a normal person. I can't spend $1,000 to fly a hat around. Then he preaches to me about footing the bill for global warming.
