Occupy Wall Street Here Until 2025, According To NY Post

What will tents look like in 2025? Tom Giebel

Over the weekend, a New York Post reporter risked her life staying in Zuccotti Park and wrote that it is "quickly becoming one of the most dangerous places in New York City." Now, the tabloid has discovered shocking news that Occupy Wall Street has events planned through 2025! This leaderless, rag-tag group of smelly "vagabonds" have a tightly regimented schedule that they will surely follow 14 years from now!

The Post points to an online calendar on one of the movement's websites that has "Radical Economics 101" scheduled at 10 a.m. on Sunday, October 26, 2025. When asked what this meant, protest spokesperson Patrick Bruner told us, "I have no idea. It's probably a placeholder, or someone messed up a time code in an event entry." Suuurreee. I suppose we'll just ignore the rumors that a few applications to York Avenue Preschool listed "Zuccotti Park" as a residence.

But as always, the tabloid gets people to bite its rancid bait. "Noooo! Not 2025," a 38-year-old food cart operator named Mohammed cries. "It was good business [before the protest], and now it's so slow. 2025, I don't think so. Never! I hope next month they'll be gone."

Pat Moore, the fair if exasperated CB 1 Quality of Life Committee member is more reasonable: "Maybe it's a typo? It will be Occupy Wall Street's grandchildren. The community board will have to fight to build a school down there." Bruner does stress, "We have no plans of leaving. Who knows if that means 2025, but we're not going anywhere."

Hey, if your economy is so bad that people are living in tent cities protesting plutocracy? Uh, you might want to take a peek at your economic policy. Hint: it is terrible!

Voluntarily living in tent cities.

Here's some DC morons putting their kids in harms way.

Brookfield is doing this as a plot to eventually turn the NYSE into luxury apartments. Bankroll OWS until the whole area is completely derelict, then buy it from whomever for a song. Nobody goes to work there anymore anyway. It's all across the water.

Finally...someone acknowledges that people can't use reoccuring events in a calendar program.

I wonder if the intrepid NYPost reporter bothered to you know, actually discuss ideas and arguments about inequality in our society.

No?

Didn't think so.

That'd be a dealbreaker for any Murdoch enterprises.

There is no way businesses are being hurt by this.

I'm pretty sure there was an article on gothamist a few days ago about how one business is most definitely being hurt by ows. let me find it for you...

ed_Ex2

After interviewing several business down around Zuccotti Park, prior to the raid, I recant, my earlier statement. Some business were hurt by the protestors, however, since rhe raids, many have returned to business as usual.

lots of events I'm involved in are running till 2033 because google calendar says so and we're to lazy to go in and set end dates as they are not by default available. biggest nonstory ever.

Scheduling a drum circle every day is not really "scheduled events".

And they just haven't figured out how to put an end date for the recurring event on their smart phones ;)
