NY cafe impacted by OWS goes out of business

Milk Street Cafe, the restaurant whose business dried up in the face of the Occupy Wall Street barricades, is shutting down. 70 more jobs lost on top of the 21 laid off in October. Parasites eventually kill the host. Obama and the Democrats “sypathize” with the protestors but the 91 folks who lost their jobs? Maybe they can all become community organizers like Barry.

  • Or how about a class action brought by the employees vs City of New York, Bloomberg, obama and OWS et al. None of those filthy bums would so much as fill out an application to work at that cafe, it would be beneath them. It would actually mean working, a scarry thought to those pigs. How can we condone them shutting it down. Now the ows is curtailing commerce from our ports. I think if anything is defined as a terrorist act that would be it.

  • Thank you OWS and Mayor Bloomberg. But then neither care about the jobs and well-being of private sector employees, they're just collateral damage.

    The laid off employees should occupy the mayor's office and then kick some OWS ass.
