im lazy =D

The Occupy Wall Street movement is great, but the message is not so much.  I can’t tell you how sad I became when I read the “demands” or “agenda” by Llyod J Hart on his website.  It is by and far one of the worst compositions I’ve read in my entire life.

The points are below but, I’d like to provide some constructive criticism.  An agenda is a singular goal, where the demands are specific instances that would further the overall agenda.  Occupy Wall St needs a general movement or direction for their agenda and then a list of specific demands to illustrate progress towards it.  Well shit.  If everyone is making their own christmas list of demands, then I might as well perch my ass on St. Nick too.

Cam’s mock Occupy Wall St agenda:

Wall Street needs to drop trow and get tested for STDs because I see warts!

Demand list:

1. WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).
   • Transparency is the most important thing we can ask for because without it, we’re blind to the deal making that goes on behind closed doors.  Goldman Sachs and the other investment backs operate similar to hedgefunds and utilize internal as well as external hedgefunds to obfuscate their money.  Clear legislation that requires full disclosure with the SEC publically on all transactions and consistent accounting is the first step.  It’s time for the black bag that financial institutions have been hiding behind to be lifted.
2. Prison Terms on Felony Charges
• We need to go scarface on these people.  The management in financial institutions is inherently entrusted by the public as well as their shareholders to act with fiduciary responsibility.  They made obvious decisions that were at minimum negligent and at worst outright fraud.  Felony charges need to be levied upon these executives as they were in the aftermath of Enron and Worldcom.  It’s time to kickass and take names.
3. Accountability – Old Testament Style
• Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.  If you are brazen enough to deem yourself trustworthy and responsible enough to run a financial institution, then all executive level employees should be required to take legal responsibility for their actions.  It’s time to put some skin in the game and grow a pair gentlemen.
• There needs to be legislation, where executives are required to pay stiff penalties and a minimum of 5 years jail time based on charges of felony.

All I’m going to say is that the level of stupidity is self evident by the author’s own demands.  He clearly is not thinking at all, since his own points lead to contradictions where he wants to close all foreign trade and yet open borders.  This makes me sad. lol

1. Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending “Freetrade” by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.
2. Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.
3. Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.
4. Free college education.
5. Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.
6. One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.
7. One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America’s nuclear power plants.
8. Racial and gender equal rights amendment.
9. Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.
10. Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.
11. Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the “Books.” World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the “Books.” And I don’t mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.
12. Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.
13. Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.

These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.

Look forward to new developments. I’ll be releasing two minimum viable products (“MVP”) by the end of August – hopefully. Look forward to them. I wont bore you with details before they land.
