Occupy Movement Strategies and Corporate Boycotts
The Occupy Movement is criticized for using outdated 1960s protest tactics rather than modern technological leverage. Effective resistance requires targeted boycotts of airlines charging excessive luggage fees and corporations that moved manufacturing jobs from cities like Detroit and Cleveland to overseas locations. Financial pressure is identified as the only language corporations react to, citing predatory credit card interest rate hikes as a primary grievance.
