Exactly. I'm broadly supportive of Occupy, but couldn't bring myself to support the Vancouver branch. The only people hurting here are the perennial hurters; the only ones protesting are the rent-a-crowds who show up at every protest. We never had a housing crunch, or an employment crunch. It's still a great place to live and work, so the rank and file simply don't think about the issues that concern OWS. I recognize the serious issues they are fighting against globally, but locally they just don't exist.
Note that I'm saying "exactly" to the problems being localized, not that they don't exist.
