The Occupy Wall Street protest and related protests are interesting, but they mostly remind me of my first pithy generalization on this blog. The protests have garnered some attention, but unless they can be economically or politically disruptive, they won’t get anything done. As near as I can tell, the protests have not yet had a significant political effect and as far as economic effects go… well, if it’s still “business as usual” for the place allegedly occupied, the “occupation” probably isn’t doing a very effective job.
