Occupy an Empty Cafe

As the law of unintended consequences marches on...we find that the Occupy Wall Street protestors have managed to expand their ranks rather easily.

Milk Street Cafe Owner Sacks 21 Employees As Consequence Of Occupy Wall Street Demonstration

The Occupy Wall Street movement, which says its goals include improving the economic lot for 99 percent of Americans, may have some explaining to do to some cafe workers now out of a job.

Mark Epstein, owner of the Milk Street Cafe at 40 Wall Street, just let 21 employees go.

The reason? The barricades police have set up throughout Wall Street as a consequence of the ongoing demonstration.

Those Occupiers are spreading goodwill everywhere they go! But...alas...it's going to be extremely difficult "improving the economic lot" of these 21 cafe workers. So...I suggest these protestors occupy a brain.

Meanwhile, I'll cast my lot with the 53 percent crowd.
