Fast Company: The Demograhics of OccupyWallStreet

Interesting article in FastCompany.

Run-of-the-mill losers? Communists and Socialists with a smattering of Democrats? The unemployed? Students?

Went downtown last night to City Hall Common to join the demo - no one was there. Well, I thought, I'm here, just go through with it.

Felt like a fool standing there alone (the Wills sat in the car and watched) in a 3-piece suit and sign in hand - Feed The Poor, Eat The Rich. Cool huh? Folks drove by and gaped, a few tooted and gave me the finger. One guy gave me a rousing chorus of hey asshole get a job... And lots of raised eyebrows. No WPD intervention!
