What has OWS achieved so far?

1.- Expected use of expected cartoons. This means it is perceived as a threat.

2.- Special meeting of the city council in Oakland.

3.- The conversation has switched from deficits to jobs.

4.- even the discussion here is also starting to involve the poor and the homeless.

The longer this goes the more changes in the discussion it will generate.

I also expect the instruments of power to increase in their use. This is the way things are. It is almost predictable.

But the right and friends of the status quo are indeed looking for ways to stop this. And so will those who are afraid of change.

1. It has made people realise that they are being screwed by big money!

2. The future will be much more Progressive. Awareness has been raised. This is HUGE.

And getting bigger. It has swept the Nation.

3. K&R.

4. "The conversation has switched from deficits to jobs." Beginning to, anyway. At last.

5. The big banks are backing away from those asinine debit card fees.

Bank Transfer Day and the grumbling building up to it also sounds to have been rather large. Not "breaking the bank" as it were, but not unnoticeable either. Occupy is the nexus, and these are tangential results of their collective voice.

6. People are starting to talk about money & power.

And how its concentration in so few hands is affecting the rest of us.

7. And that is the big enchilada.
