[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 890978, member: 1246"] [COLOR=#800000]Maybe they should rent some portable toilets!! Don’t these people hate money?[/COLOR] [INDENT][COLOR=#800000][COLOR=#990000]NEW YORK (AP)[/COLOR] — The Occupy Wall Street movement, which has spent a month bashing banks and other corporations, has become a money manager itself. [COLOR=#800000] The movement has $435,000 — $85,000 of it donated in person at the Manhattan park that’s become the epicenter of the global “anti-greed” protests and the remainder from online credit-card donations, said Darrell Prince, an activist using his business background to keep track of the daily donations. “It’s way more support than we ever thought would come in,” Prince said. Figuring out what to do with the money could prove to be one of the biggest challenges for a movement devoted to building consensus among activists with wide-ranging goals and united by anger more than by strategy. The protesters have been spending about $1,500 a day on food, and also just covered a $2,000 laundry bill for sleeping bags and jackets and sweaters. They’ve spent about $20,000 on equipment such as laptops and cameras, and costs associated with streaming video of the protest on the Internet. They have more than money donations, too. They have a mountain of donated goods, from blankets to cans of food to swim goggles to protect them from pepper spray – some stored in a cavernous space on Broadway a block from Wall Street.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
