1. This is really great and long past due. I do have questions though.

Will the utility companies allow them to have their elec./water, etc. turned on? How long before the privateers attack and evict this family and others like them?

I can see this from both sides and I fully support the occupy solution. The banks are paying near zero % rates for the money they borrow and then they loan it (sometimes) to people who are in bad financial situations at usurious rates. Profiting off of misfortune. Exactly what Naomi Klein discussed in DISASTER CAPITALISM. It has come to America after it's 3rd world tour.

I hope that this is sustainable. Everyone deserves a roof over their heads and health care.

I wonder if there is a way for #Occupy (us), to wrest health care from the profiteers?
