You ever try selling an old computer? You’re lucky if you can sell it for parts - my mothers computer is years old but it still works for email and “facebooking”. And based on the resolution of the posted pics, I’d be willing to guess that the cameras being used are pretty low quality - my wifes 4 year old feature phone takes better pics than most of those.
I don’t know, but it seems like those guys are protesting the fact that wall street firms and banks all got bailouts, and their ceo’s got multi-million dollar packages, while ordinary people who went to college and got degrees and atried to do “what they were supposed to” are left with a ton of debt, no jobs, and nobody to bail them out. I’ve seen enough threads around here that were anti-tarp and anti-bailout. These guys are saying the same thing. They’re not anti-capitalist, they’re saying let the free market work - if they don’t get a bailout, neither should the banks.
I certainly didn’t support the bailouts but to post a sob story on a $20+ a month internet connection (probably more like $45) from a computer that cost at least a few hundred bucks seems a little more than ridiculous to me. Next, I suppose you’ll tell me they all posted from the free library internet connection, right? 75% of these stories are from single moms with multiple children. They should have thought about the consequences of having unprotected/unwed sex. And where are the fathers anyway? The other 25% seem to be idiots who took out huge student loans, got a sociology degrees or something equally worthless and wonder why they don’t have a job. They ALL probably voted for 0bama, so imo they reap what they sow.
