Give Them What They Want

Occupy Oakland is set to attempt to shut down Oakland and it's port. They say they will protest any business that remains open. I say give them what they want. Shut down every coffee shop, convenience store, restaurant and gas station. Cab drivers, bus drivers, stay home. Evict them all from hotels and shut them down too.

I've seem them in hotels, the OccupyMN crowd, the weekend warriors not brave enough to face the elements. They brave it out in (corporate owned) hotels if they're from out of town, ride in (corporate owned) cabs and take buses make possible in part by (corporate) advertising banners on them. They meet at Starbucks or other (corporate owned) coffee shop to make their anti corporate protest plans. Others buy gas at (corporate owned) gas stations and drive, parking in (corporate owned) parking ramps.

Shut them all down.

If however a day off is not your bag and you decide you need or want to open your doors, remember YOUR rights. These people claim to be fighting for theirs, if they try to block you from going about YOUR business, FIGHT BACK.

Excellent idea.

Of course you could add to that and shut down all hospitals(corporate owned for the most part), nursing home(same thing), Let's not forget media outlets(radio and television) and the one that would be the most damaging to them the internet providers.
