re: #17 palomino

Aren’t these kind of like modern day Hoovervilles?

Uh, no. There are a few unemployed people and homeless but the activists are fairly well off and young. They can afford to take a few weeks off from their normal responsibilities (whatever those may be) and camp in parks for extended periods of time. Most real unemployed people are trying hard to find jobs, feed their children, keep their housing, etc and don;t have time to hang out in a park with a 24 hour drum circle. These protesters all have homes waiting for them when they leave. It’s a hobby/vacation not a serious collection of people having a hard time.
