For years, the city couldn't afford to feed the homeless in Oakland.
For the past two weeks, the mostly white, upper middle class people shown above have been feeding the homeless of not only Oakland but the majority of the transient population 3-4 cities out. They set up a feeding station on the lawn in front of Oakland city hall, and invited anyone to come eat nutritious, sustainable food for free. They paid for this out of their own pockets, as voted on by an assembly at large of the people gathered. They all did their own math, and figured out what they could afford to give every month without a serious cramp on their style, and that amount was more than sufficient to buy enough rice, tofu, and whatever fruity vegetables they could to give away for free. Real people (soccer moms, buisnessmen) dropped off bagloads of food to the hippies who didn't have jobs and thus were the cooks/servers. This was set up to be maintained forever. It took about 3 hours and 200 people with jobs on their own dimes. This is a direct analogy of what the 99% movement is all about. Give to those of a lower class. Tax the rich more. You make a million dollars a year - AND THAT IS GREAT! GOOD JOB! YAY CAPITALISM! - but fuck you, you pay taxes for the privilege. If 200 or 2,000 local people can fucking figure out how to feed the fucking homeless people in their area, why can't the fucking city which is paid millions of dollars in taxes for the social welfare? Yes I know the math. Yes I know the 1% do pay more taxes. It's not enough. The tax needs to be flatter, or have more regulation on capitalism. The disparity has led to this nationwide protest, and this is just the beginning. Even when the police put the people down the first few times and it seems like it will get better, they will keep the policies involved static, and the disparity will get worse. This will trigger the revolution. So yeah. They were a bunch of dumbasses standing around. Look carefully. They aren't in all black or Guy Fawkes masks. They were just standing there. Listening. There was a P.A.. People were speaking based on their ability to speak ideas as voted on by their peers. There was order. It's a strange thing to watch man.
