      No, you didn’t. You gave a hypothesis and then justified with assumptions, providing absolutely nothing concrete to support them beyond “trust me bro”.

      Give me any kind of data to support the claim.

        Brother: restaurant no get money, money no come next day.

        That’s not making any assumption. This type of protest hasn’t been tried in America at scale, how can I possibly present data. Who knows what the impact will be, why don’t we find out before we lable it pointless?

        Do you have any data showing that me standing in front of my city hall on Tuesday with a sign makes a difference? Because it’s been tried quite a few times since Occupy and nothing has improved. Or is that also operating off of “trust me bro”?

        This is coming from a person who wants to do both. Is your argument that we should do nothing?

          I want you to know that I am treating your concerns seriously and have been writing a response, but it is already 5000 characters long and I need to eat dinner, so I hope you will allow me the courtesy of replying in time without assuming that I am either conceding or disregarding your comment.
