I think this movement will end up in everybodys back yard faster than we can imagine. It's going to be a phenomenon. Every citizen in this country has been "personally" effected over the last 3 years to some extent. Last time that has happened was WW2. Check out this brand new organization.

Toddjts,

Not if they still don't have a clear cut message of what the cause is. I think it was here, but the initial list of demands is absolutely absurd and will be laughed at. "Guaranteed cost of living wage even if unemployed" Ummmm, would you go to work? I sure wouldn't.

People go to work to be productive. They go to work to socialize. They go to work to get out of the house. A guaranteed cost of living wage means they can eat and sleep and take a shower and see a movie. Nothing wrong with that.

Why would I go to work when I can just socialize at the local bar/coffee house/ theater? Yeah, I like to be productive. But I like hanging out more. Being productive in creating products or offering services offers me the resources to hang out and relax. What incentive would I have if it is handed to me?
