From the looks of it, plenty of these people were not going to be participating in the economy anyway. If you're a professional activist, times are always tough.

On the morning of July 21, before the Eton Park meeting, Paulson had spoken to New York Times reporters and editors, according to his Treasury Department schedule. A Times article the next day said the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency were inspecting Fannie and Freddie’s books and cited Paulson as saying he expected their examination would give a signal of confidence to the markets.
A Different Message
At the Eton Park meeting, he sent a different message, according to a fund manager who attended. Over sandwiches and pasta salad, he delivered that information to a group of men capable of profiting from any disclosure.
Around the conference room table were a dozen or so hedge- fund managers and other Wall Street executives -- at least five of them alumni of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), of which Paulson was chief executive officer and chairman from 1999 to 2006. In addition to Eton Park founder Eric Mindich, they included such boldface names as Lone Pine Capital LLC founder Stephen Mandel, Dinakar Singh of TPG-Axon Capital Management LP and Daniel Och of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC.
After a perfunctory discussion of the market turmoil, the fund manager says, the discussion turned to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Paulson said he had erred by not punishing Bear Stearns shareholders more severely. The secretary, then 62, went on to describe a possible scenario for placing Fannie and Freddie into “conservatorship” -- a government seizure designed to allow the firms to continue operations despite heavy losses in the mortgage markets.
Stock Wipeout
Paulson explained that under this scenario, the common stock of the two government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs, would be effectively wiped out. So too would the various classes of preferred stock, he said.
The fund manager says he was shocked that Paulson would furnish such specific information -- to his mind, leaving little doubt that the Treasury Department would carry out the plan. The managers attending the meeting were thus given a choice opportunity to trade on that information.

I saw the Occupy Las Vegas douche nozzles the other day when I was fiddle fucking around on the Strip. Sadly, my dog didn't bite any of them even after I rubbed the bone from a pork chop on their shoulders while pretending to pat them on the back. I guess she just doesn't have the temperament to be an attack dog after all.
 
Has the Media grown tired of them yet? When they do, that's when we will see them trudging home to resume their former lives. And in ten years most of them will be looking DOWN on the generation behind them.

What goes around, comes around.
 
I've been down there. I never had a problem with the people protesting as I pass by to get to work. I chatted a couple of times and the whole thing strikes me as people "raging against the machine". No single message, but trying to make a point.

No great observation here, just more of a curiosity.
