Occupy Wall Street costs jobs
Fox News reports that one cafe owner in the vicinity of the Occupy Wall Street encampment had to lay of 21 employees because the stench, filth and penniless crowds has damaged his foot traffic business;
Marc Epstein, owner of the Milk Street Cafe at 40 Wall Street in lower Manhattan, said he had to cut 21 of the 97 members of his staff on Thursday and Friday after seeing sales plummet by 30 percent in the six weeks since the protests began. He’s also been forced to slash the restaurant operating hours, moving up his closing time from 9 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays.
Way to go, you hippy fucks. Your pointless protest which no one supports is finally having an impact, but not on the banks or the rich, but the 99% who you pretend to support.
Epstein said he has pleaded with city officials, the New York police and his landlord, Donald Trump, to get the barricades removed, but he has been unable to get a return call from the city and the New York police.
Well, at least we know what Bloomberg thinks is important.

Yup, peaceful protests. Like the Tea Party folks shut down all those businesses that time they, well, then there was…shit, I got nuthin.
No, no, Sparky, the OWS crowd is just like the Tea Party, except for the drugs, rapes, crapping on police vehicles, baths, garbage, run ins with the law, etc. Otherwise, you can’t tell the two groups apart.
Don’t sell the Tea Party ralliers short, Sparky. They also angrily ranted against the Jews, purposefully scared police horses, pushed a P/O’s motorcycle over with the P/O still on it, defecated and urinated and masturbated in public, sexually assaulted men and women, caused mothers to abandon their families, paraded veterans with beefed-up credentials, violated their permits as well as health and safety laws, and were supported by Obama and other Democrats. That’s why the people in the know can say with authority that the Tea Party and OWS have so very much in common.
For all intents and purposes, the actual OWSers (not the homeless, un-institutionalized insane, and criminals) are being paid, and are also trust fund babies.
What drives OWS is the ‘get mine now’ philosophy, which leaves no room for justice, social or otherwise.
OT–you forgot the drunk 11-YEAR OLD at Occupy Missoula protest.
See, if this wealthy restaurateur was a real patriot, he would suck up the losses, pay his employees a “living wage”, let them unionize, agree to pay for their healthcare and then send the OWS protesters free lunch every day to show them how grateful he is that they’re looking out for the 99%.
but don’t you see when they get what they want he’ll be free from the burdens of. . . not sure what. Airplanes spraying water vapor or something.
Now see here all you capitalist pigs. Ya got it all wrong I says. They didn’t *mean* for the small business owners to get hurt, that’s why they’re gonna pony up some of the 500g’s they collected since, well, they are not like “the Wall Street” peeps…right, I says to myself…
Guess I won’t hold my breath for that redistribution, hey?
How’s the saying go? Ya wanna make an omeltte, ya gotta break a few eggs…..
we HAVE omelets. And burgers. And steaks. And Milk. And a distribution system that actually makes poor people fatter (as opposed to the rich as with most of history) what they’re proposing is like throwing out the omelet that’s already in the skillet and cooking the egshells.
These ass pimples will just keep banging their baby spoons wanting more cake until someone grows a pair and kicks the legs out from under the high chair….waiting, waiting, waiting…yeah shit, thats gonna happen. Mayor Quan anyone?
Butt nuggets in Oakland are marching today:

#9…yeah, I can extend the same analogy to kicking their hippie asses.
Want to start a violent revolution? Well be prepared to get your asses kicked…maybe have a few of your fellow hippies (aka “useful idiots”) killed in the streets.
Want omelets…gotta break some eggs, right?
How’s the saying go? Ya wanna make an omeltte, ya gotta break a few eggs…..
How’s the other saying go? Go fuck your mother.
Saw a list of ingredients for the OWS kitchen. The average 99% can’t afford half of what’s on the list. Nothing but imported stuff, nothing grown on Manhatten.
Screw omelettes – these kids are eating much, much better than IHOP. Perhaps they can spare some of their parents’ illicit cash to the newly unemployed?
I look at it this way…for what these clowns are paying for a day’s worth per person of organic shit, I can eat for nearly a week, and quite well, thanks for asking. Then again, it’s deer season here and for the cost of one bullet me and the family can eat well for months.
Let’s hear the OWS hippies the first time they try to field dress a fucking sewer rat.
