Sometimes the entertainment value of the left wing crazies almost justifies their existence.

Occupy Wall Street Plans to Offer Debit Card - ABC News
How odd you think "occupy" is some single entity.

I can co-op the name "occupy" for any reason or purpose I wish.

Occupy Cleaners

Occupy Transmission shop

Occupy Funeral Home

see it's that easy.

So you're saying ABC News, got the story wrong when they said "Occupy Wall Street"?

Source?

Carne Ross, a board member of the Occupy Money Cooperative, tells ABC News that his group's intentions could not be more altruistic or more in sympathy with Occupy's larger, progressive agenda.

Ross, a former British diplomat and commentator on banking and international affairs, says he first came up with the debit card idea when he and like-minded activists were occupiers of New York's Zuccotti Park two years ago.
Again, I say:

If you aren't willing the admit the irony of this, then you're a lost cause. Facts, principles, integrity - these things mean nothing to you. It's all about defending your pals, regardless of the circumstances, at all costs. How sad that someone could be that entrenched in an ideology.

Irony? Isn't that what credit unions were designed for in the first place? Many people are pulling their money out of the banks and putting it into the credit unions because they trust them far more with their money.

They are more willing to work with community members, they are not for profit lending institutes that are there to provide for the members without having to be all concerned with stock holders.

How is what is happening here ironic?

The best style of comedy is that which contains great irony. Right now I am in tears with laughter.
