And one more thing. It is a shame that the Occupy Movement can't score properly on the style scale, complete with leadership driving it, and it providing a 10 step program that everyone can agree to, which would lead the world into a perpetual state of prosperity.


The entire movement is full of people who don't seem to understand why it would be a bad idea to take on tens of thousands of dollars in debt to get a "useless" degree, and are completely unable pay for their needs after they have bought their designer clothes and fancy gadgets ...

In other words, what does anyone in this movement know about being successful or providing prosperity for anyone (including themselves)?

Err... Russell Simmons...

Net worth of Russell Simmons?  Around half a billion dollars, and he is now part of the movement.  Do you want to go more into what Russell Simmons has done to help people and employ people?


Such a broad array of supporters from successful entrepreneurs ... One guy from the entertainment industry, who built his business through his close relationships with other entertainers and selling himself (and his friends) by appealing to those who feel disaffected

The comment was "name one" and I did.  How many more do you want named?


I never said "name one" ... and I certainly never said "name one outsider who feigns support for this movement to increase his sales of music to disaffected youth"

 

The entire movement is people (by their own admission) being locked out of being successful and being unwilling to accept any responsibility for their current position in life; even though (to most objective observers) the overwhelming majority of these individuals have demonstrated poor decision making which is at the core of their problems.

Obviously, there is a collection of intelligent and/or successful people who will try to make money or gain influence by manipulating these morons; but that doesn’t mean these people actually support what the movement is calling for. After all, if Russell Simmons believed what he was saying why isn't he hiring these poor unfortunate people? After all, he's worth half a billion dollars and all these people want is jobs; and I'm sure his company has many great opportunities available for graduates of cultural anthropology, women's studies or art-history.
