OccupyWallStreet: I see old people « The Confluence:
"The media keeps telling us that this is a student movement and there are nothing but young people at OccupyWallStreet. This is a lie.
There are people of all ages there and a LOT more people who are middle aged than you would expect. It is a gross mischaracterization to say that this a youth movement. That’s because so many of us are unemployed that we have time to go to marches and rallies. If the people who are running this country don’t want more marches, they really need to make a more concerted effort to get people back to work. On the other hand, occupation sites might be a good place to network. It gets people out of the house and out of their heads. Plus, if there’s decent bandwidth, you can check your email for job posting updates and rejection notices..."
