More like “man says I ate lunch, some people didn’t eat lunch for a few days, but now most people are back to eating lunch”.

This was Occupy Wall Street all over again. A disorganized mess of a protest with no chance at making a difference.

Occupy Wall Street changed things a lot more than people seem willing to admit. At a minimum it kept the US from going the same "austerity" direction that Europe did around the same time.
