Tons of diaries on OWS, and numerous on the recommended list. Yet very few, and none of the recommended list, about the victory WS and corporate American had over the people in Washington yesterday. The passage of three "free trade" agreements, with South Korea, Panama and Colombia yesterday, supported by that great economic populist in the white house, will mean two things: more job losses in the manufactuing sector in the U.S., and more foreign protection for wall street and corporate American in their search for cheap labor and profits. No protection for labor, foreign or domestic. Again I ask, if these deals are so great for U.S. workers, why do we need worker displacement legislation?

I have been commenting on this. In spite of OWS action in DC goe on. I was part of OWS and I do not physically participate anymore. The OWS ha been hijacked by vested interest. There is occupy Walmart, Verizon which are cherry picked why not AT&T. These were steered by unions.
Problem with OWS is, no agenda, no goal, no account of $500,000.00. There was no help to Occupy DC financial. OWS told us we are on our own.
I heard technology people are buying gadgets in the name internet. Drummers were not compensated.
