Great job, Megan!! Hope here, I was at an assembly hearing in Albany the other day (more to make a statement to those in attendance than because I thought the assembly could do anything). Anyway, there were three state troopers standing outside the hearing room. I asked them "are you here to protect the 1% or the 99%" they were taken aback, but one got a big grin and said "well, we are in the 99%, aren't we??" They all grinned...if I hadn't had to be at a school open house (mandatory attendance), I might have done something to test them! Keep talking to everybody! Great work, .
Megs: I am also so proud that you shared it with me and your mom!! Can't hardly wait 'til Wall Street gets a load of you!! mmdad
Very well done, Meg. Showing the emotion while holding the line - very good...

Thanks for this blog. I hope you do an article or something with these experiences - you really are a good writer.
I once got in a big fight with my dad over my making minimum (or close to it) wage at Borders (in 1999, I think). No one could possibly live on how little I was making, so therefore they had to be paying more. It was surreal. I kept repeating, I'm making $6.25 an hour, and he'd say no, it has to be at least $11 an hour, how could it be any less? He just couldn't wrap his brain around it.
Yet somehow you have bested me. Salute.
