re: #241 Killgore Trout
Because it’s wasteful and callous. All those idiots who threw money out the window have a roof over their heads and a secure existence. Notebook computers, iPhones (probably used to film the wasteful event) and probably trust funds large enough to remove the need for work. I’m pretty well off and $5,000 is a huge sum of money to me. Could you imagine what that money could mean to someone who needed it? It’s shockingly wasteful and ignorant.
I would imagine they’re all not trust fund babies, but there’s a food bank I donate to that could have done wonders with that money. Freedom of speech unfortunately covers the freedom to be stupid at times.
OWS has enough image problems. This was a fucking stupid maneuver.
