Starbucks declares free WiFi and bathroom for homeless

[Kath]

Megacorp is stunned that protesters against megacorps were hostile to their places of business.

Huh? These were mom & pop sandwich shops and such. I don't see them as deserving of scorn, nor non-customers throwing shit all over their bathrooms.

Bathrooms outside of Wall Street? Mom n' pop can't afford the rent on a hot dog stand around there.

But yes, if a legit small business was hurt by them, then I oppose it.

From the article I linked to:

As the Occupy Wall Street encampment at Zuccotti Park enters its fourth week, some local residents and small business owners feel like they're the ones be occupied. At a Community Board 1 meeting Wednesday night, Committee Chair Ro Scheffe told representatives of OWS, “Whatever your political views are, it doesn’t matter, because once again our neighborhood has been taken from us. We have a right to peaceful enjoyment of our homes, which we are being denied." Also being denied? The right to sanitary bathrooms, as Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee reports:

The entire financial sector was instantly galvanized against them though - I don't expect a lot of clear information on what actually happened, even now.

Well, TDS was no friend of corporate America. I suppose it's possible that the people Sam Bee interviewed were lying corporate tools, and not actually small business owners, but that seems far-fetched to me.

It's New York. Near Wall Street. Everybody's a lying corporate tool.

Who owns the Milk Street Cafe, one of the people "claiming" to be a small business owner in Zuccoti Park, who was impacted by the disgusting bathroom habits of OWS? Probably Walmart, amiright?

Also, impacted, Tent & Trails $$ · Outdoor Gear. Their Wordpress page is proof they are owned by mega billionaires.

Lol - seriously, stop wondering why people think you talk out your ass sometimes.

There's more, but my point is beyond proven. All these small business owners cannot be lying.
