A new lost decade leading to revolution
I'm not sure what happened here,I found this link through HN, went looking for the original, couldn't find it. Then thought if I submitted the URL in a new entry, HN would find the link for me and take me back to the page. But I got a new entry instead.

They still haven't provided a message of what they want, but this is a very well laid out list of grievances, and a coherent underhanded threat of what will happen if change isn't made. I don't think this generation has to be lost, as they are finding their voice, they may create the change that will lead to a greater democracy than currently exists. I still think they are trying to accomplish too much at once, but maybe that is my start-up experience talking. If they picked one thing that would have an impact, and focused on that for the next 6 months, they could keep the momentum going. What if they focused on limiting the power of lobbyists. That would have a significant affect on their voice in democracy. Personally, we are somewhat disenfranchised with the democratic process because the lobbyists have so much power.
