The stock market has been decoupled from the real economy for years. There are interests who want all of us to make sacrifices when the stock market goes down, but I don't agree with them.
Would Biden break an Occupy like Obama did?
Obama didn't need to break the occupy wall street moment. That moment was so unorganized that it broke itself.
Yeah, sure, that's why they had the police beat up protesters and journalists.
You think police wouldn't have beat them up if they were organized?
If they were organized enough you'd just have a pile of dead cops when it was over
There's no organization that can take on the US police. They are backed up by the national guard. The national guard, historically, has demonstrated a willingness to shoot protesters.
No, you'd have one dead cop and every protestor dead or in jail. One cop dying is all they need to throw away what little restraint they might have had up to that point. They will kill the people who resist and arrest the ones who don't. If they arrest you they'll drag the trial out for years, by the time you get found guilty and sentenced to a year of probation you'll have spent a decade behind bars.
The problem is that this is not a fair fight, it is a suicide mission for whoever decides to take on the police.
Nah, if it goes down like that you weren't organized enough
You're either trolling or dillusional if you think that. We live in a police state, if you're out in the open they will just kill you and if you take shelter they will literally lay seige to you and burn your house down.
