Forum Post: Ridiculous "demands"

These "demands" are absolutely ridiculous. I can't even decide which one is most laughable! Lets start with #4 - what is your proposal on how to pay for this? Demand #11 basically states that you want noone held accountable for any financial obligations. What message does that send to the people that have consistently paid their bills? Also, you want to outlaw all credit reporting agenscies? They basically did that during the housing boom and look at that mess. I just don't understand your demands and you seem like a bunch of whiners. This is America, go out and earn money instead of complaining about the people that do.

what demand list are you talking about?

also, 1.)many people who support this movement OR who are interested in what it might become and want to be part of the discussion --have jobs. I do. i make 50k a year. 2.)have you seen the unemployment rate?

There are no official demands, and there is no consensus on whichever of the many demands lists that you're talking about, so that's not very fair criticism of the protest as a whole. It is indeed valid criticism of some of the dumb ideas behind some of those demands. And the whole concept of "demands" is silly. This is not a union walkout or a hostage situation. Nobody has any leverage to "demand" anything.
