It seems like people at Occupy Bloomington, just aren’t very interested in hearing issues. The most severest of issues are just pretty much ignored simply because the ones that experience them are shunned. The homeless in Peoples park are ignored completely. They are even bringing in their own food. I have been contributing $20 every payday, but now it seems like I am going to give $20 to each group.
Bloomington, when it comes to the actual residents, is the third poorest cities of its size. Estimates are that 50% receive some type of assistance. All the business’s that cater to the college have guest worker’s doing the job that belongs to the people of Bloomington. The city doesn’t do any of the work that benefits its citizens, meaning those jobs are gone too. While the streets of the college are mostly clean, the city streets have trees growing between the curb and street. It is not because once in a while you can see the cities streetcleaner driving through the campus, it is because they have not hired anyone to do the work.
Which all of a sudden comes to mind: Who are this cities ghost employees? People who get checks and yet do absolutely nothing. People who very much want to keep that going. With a local election comming tomorow, these are the things that should have been asked. Was Occupy a deception to take your mind off of that?
