Capitalist Offering Jobs at Occupy Portland Finds Few Takers

An evil capitalist goes to Occupy Portland looking to help people find work. Most people just pass by. One prospective worker is apparently a felon. Another gentleman declines after asking if the work is from a union. Still, others merely mock the capitalist, or are more concerned with publicizing their marches. Out of the hundreds of people there, most of which complain about being out of work, only about 15 signed up for work.

I was hoping this was coming down the pike.
Outstanding!
We need more of this right here.
Citizens armed with video cameras and truth!

Nice to see that 15% signed up. The real "fringe" is, then, quite truly demonstrated by action.

These dirty lazy liberal hippies don't want to work, they want a free ride

Obviously, this wasn't what Soros and Obama expected.

There is zero question that this whole thing is staged to give Obama cover on his epically failed economic policies.

They don't want a job. They want to collapse the whole system!

I would bet if you walked down through the protestors and said FREE MONEY, they'd jump at the chance.

Donald Trump should have his Apprentice show taped from one of these Occupy sites.

The only ones who think this is about jobs are some of the idiot children who are there for the "90% party" (Abby Hoffman, circa 1970)

Missy8s   October 18th, 2011 - 9:12 am

Sadly, that is the reality in my city of Portland, Oregon…

People refusing to work unless its for a union company or under the table or willing to hire felons.

God bless the young capitalist who volunteered to redistribute wealth on his own without the heavy hand of government forcing him or the clenched fists of unions beating on him to do their will…

sistyugler1   October 18th, 2011 - 9:21 am

I wonder how many of those 15 people will still want the job when they find out "it is not the job I deserve".

LadyHawk   October 18th, 2011 - 9:23 am

15, huh?

Richie_Rich_   October 18th, 2011 - 9:24 am

You forgot to add that a pre-employment drug test is required, and 12 of the 15 will immediately withdraw their apps.

From_Georgia   October 18th, 2011 - 9:24 am

I have noticed that lately, the Occupy Wall Street is less about occupying Wall Street and more about just Occupying where ever they can. Yet, it has only been a month and these fools are already loosing steam behind their lack of a message and bad math.

What is surprising is that I was expecting more out of this Occupy movement and this is the best they can do after tossing in all that money and support. If it keeps up like this, the whole Occupy movement will not make it past winter if not the end of autumn.

1GooDDaDDy   October 18th, 2011 - 9:33 am

As a "follow-up" question, I'd like to know, from the 15, how many actually showed up for work?
More than likely just the felon…casing-out your house for later.

I'd hire that enthusiastic "landscape guy" in a second, but I'd have to lock-up my lacquer cabinet if I had one.

Not Over.

Sefton   October 18th, 2011 - 9:35 am

Those morons wouldn't know what to do with a business card.
They'd probably ask him if it was a coupon for some free sh!t.

The Sesame Streeters don't understand why they are there. They don't want jobs, they just want our property to be handed to them with them being able to sit at home playing Call of Duty while smoking pot and grabbing some munchies.

Of course being both racist and ignorant, can you give the rationale for passing out business cards?

Isn't it sufficient that he took down the prospective workers contact information?

grainbird   October 18th, 2011 - 9:53 am

Well, we know what the spin from "objective" news outlets would be on this one, right? The capitalist guy was really just out there to make the protesters look bad in order to quash the efforts of univerally well-intentioned and completely grass roots protesters, none of whom are being paid. Just like anything anyone not on the Left does regarding anything about the Occupy protests will be depicted as having bad motives.

People who consistently present news portraying one group of people as all good and the opposing group of people as all evil, are either too dishonest or too lost in Fairyland to be considered "journalists."

Don't get caught in the middle of the crowd.

Stay near the police officers.

Don't intimidate.

Don't argue.

Ain't that a wonderment! Some people were actually interested in work.

Hey, that is happening without it being said.

Just saw a link on drudge to the NY Post about OWS protestors having their own personal wealth redistributed….as in taken from them against their will and then doled out to those they don't even know (the thieves who stole their stuff).

Irony is not just dripping, it is running like water through a broken damn.

$150 a day to pick fruit in Oregon and Washington. Crops are going to waste because farmers can't get anyone out there to help with the harvest. The governor is talking about easing requirements for citizenship documentation so they can hire illegals. Meanwhile, the lefties continue to whine that there aren't any jobs.

Oregon has the "medical marijuana" law. I'll wager most of the scruffy ones down there have a medical marijuana card and can't pass a drug test.

Commieobamie   October 18th, 2011 - 11:32 am

So one's a felon. He still needs a job. I hate commies, but it's almost as disgusting to deny a person a job just because of things in their past if they repented and are really searching for work, so why was it important to say "one's a felon". Hell if he really wanted a job, he's better than 99% of these ZERO PERCENT.

And ZERO the USURPER IS a felon, just the DOJ won't prosecute the criminal, and HE'S playing the president.

Some occupations that might attract the Occupy (Insert name of city here) bunch: nonexistent "green" jobs, ACLU attorney/staff member, community organizer, union organizer, activist for (Insert name of victim group here), Democrat party ward heeler, tenured teacher or professor at liberal institution. Of course these positions would need to pay a living, guaranteed wage with no requirement to "slave" at an entry level job in order to qualify.

Small Thoughts   October 18th, 2011 - 12:31 pm

I wonder how many of the 15 will still be working 6 months from now. My guess – 0.

the whole protest is a fraud. 40cameras. fewer than 15 viewers per camera. every chat room loaded with censors who shut down discussion. no live feeds…..they show movies and videos that incite violence…..occasionally they will make you watch a camera up some idiots nose for an hour while he spouts socialist propaganda……soros is spending an awful lot for an awful little. they are are using islamic terrorist tactics as an organizational format to incite fear. children playing childrens game. but they need blood and don't seem to be able to get it. only a matter of time.

I hope you are being sarcastic… not sure though. I have a lot of respect for those guys who are there and ready for work, whether in Home Depot parking lots, 7-11 parking lots, or wherever they have to go to find the work. And I don't care if they are illegal aliens or not. If the man is willing, ready and able to work, more power to him.

Great idea: Instead of the job fairs held everywhere, the organizers could save a lot of cash on hotels and open up at the occupy events.
That would likely clean out these losers from every location but quick. Throughout history going to school does not equal a job. Look at dear leader. They were never told they'd have to start in the mailroom by their elitist professors?

More than 99% of the human race for the last four thousand years has lived in absolute squalor, surrounded by bloodshed and violence. In all of history most people haven't expected to live much past forty. Almost every human who ever lived was resigned to the fact that life is mostly about struggling and scraping by just to get bread and a roof over your head.

99% of the people who ever lived had to go through life without any medical treatment. 99% of the people who ever lived could expect to be a peasant with no rights for their entire life. 99% of the people who ever lived looked forward to the afterlife, because there's no rule or right that says life is supposed to be good. A good life is not a human right. No one is entitled to an education of any kind. 99% of the people who ever lived were illiterate. 99% of the cultures that ever existed have not given women equal rights. 99% of the societies that ever existed have been barbaric, violent, homophobic and ignorant. Barbaric, ignorant societies are the default setting for the human race. We are broken. Mankind is not a force for good.

The brainwashed mob needs to remember who and what America is in the context of history instead of the context of their little materialistic lives.
