I’m going for a run shortly and then I’ll be taking a shower. Do you get much exercise, Dill? Healthy BMI and all that?

Yeah, don’t even bother talking to anyone that doesn’t agree with you, as that is a greeeeeaaaaat way to reach a consensus and go about life in general. Just ignore everybody that doesn’t agree with you and your own priorities 100%. Also, just to be safe, call anyone critisizing you a “troll” and tell everyone to ignore them. Way to go!

That’s kinda what always happens after a while when you “occupy” a place – the natives who actually live & work there will reclaim it. Maybe it’s time to realize that in order to strengthen democracy from the grass roots-level up you probably shouldn’t use the same kind of language and general attitude towards your fellow citizens that Bush displayed towards Iraq and Afghanistan… especially if you claim to represent 99% of society.

Me too!

Maybe if the donations reach a truly obscene amount, a habitable building can be purchased somewhere close to the City. That would be awesome. It would allow us to keep up the pressure until the next election (although I’m sure we’ll have an ex-Goldman Sachs “technocrat” installed for us before then).

This is all correct. The UK government was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Others might call it blackmail. My guess is that the banks lobbied to mix casino and retail banking so that their salaries and bonuses would be underwritten by taxpayer guarantees for the rest of eternity.

My view is that before abandoning capitalism altogether, we should give it one more shot with true risk taking (no guarantees or bailouts) and proper regulation (for example, all insurance schemes should be solvent). If the pay differential was less obscene, some of the better brains could work for the good guys…
