Movement Update

Geez, maybe I whined too soon about the "movement". Turns out 350.org is organizing a protest at Jackson Lake Lodge where activists will confront Bankers from the Federal Reserve. Apperantly the Bankers have an annual retreat at a fancy resort and the protestors will demand they stop investing in fossil fuels and switch to renewable energy. Only problem? This is to be a law abiding protest. The activists will wave signs at the bankers and shout slogans, there are no plans for any arrests. More like a camping trip with some chanting thrown in. So I guess I was correct about the state of "the movement". Same old tactics with the exact same result. People will temporarily feel better, like they are doing something. Having risked nothing, they will go back to their lives and nothing will happen. Someone will start planningt the next protest. If you are going to make demands, you need to have an "or else". These are big dogs, they don't scare easily. One inteesting change is 350 is going to reimburse protestors for their travel expenses. They must be swimming in money, something that could be used for a bail fund. But if we have come to the point of having to pay activists to show up...hourly wage? Stipend? Sure, I'll show up.
