On top of cold weather and logistical pains, "Occupy" protesters in Chicago last week dealt with an embarrassing stunt.

Dozens of photocopied McDonald's job applications were reportedly thrown from the Chicago Board of Trade building and onto Occupy Chicago protestors earlier this week, according to Chicagoist.....

.....Although Occupy Wall Street quickly gained national recognition, the movement has yet to receive mass approval. A recent poll revealed around 37 percent of Americans support Occupy Wall Street.

The New York Times reports that while investment bankers may publicly express sympathy for the protesters, it's quite a different story behind closed doors.

"Most people view it as a ragtag group looking for sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll," one top hedge fund manager anonymously told the New York Times.

Funny how people ignore the info that contradicts what they want to believe, such as the median age and employment status of the occupiers and those who support them, as well as the percentage of that support...

I'm sure the majority of the occupiers consider themselves too good to work there.

The fast food restaurants are already occupied by the largely Latino workforce. They allow some African Americans to work there too, but they will not speak English in front of them, and if you are a Caucasian, they really do not want you working there. In the suburbs, it is the college students who are relegated to be the workforce at these jobs. There is an unspoken heirarchy in the jobs and workplace, certain groups are relegated to certain professions and jobs at certain wages. Everyone denies it, there are laws against it, but it is real and it exists. Look in any city in America.
