(39,382 posts)Sure, it made getting that morning Starbucks a little tough on Wall St, but that's about it.
I think what broke up a lot of the Occupy group was that their was no structure to the group. The few groups I saw were rag tag conspiracy nuts and anti government types. Savannah tried to occupy a park and that guy was a loon. Jacksonville tried and was the same. Bigger cities had larger collections of the same people and had no real goals.
Sure, some groups had goals. OWS held a park, until they didn't anymore. Other groups helped homeowners stay in their homes. This is what I think was the only thing a few groups accomplished.
The media didn't cover the groups outside of OWS because they had no cohesion with any other group. They had no central focus or goal to attain.
I wish they would have done something and faired better, but for the most part they didn't.

Go ahead and tell me I'm wrong and how they are a force of good to this day.
