Forum Post: Pushed out of the job market

If Occupy is about the 99%, why have we heard nothing about those who have effectively been pushed out of the job market? Not everyone can work, (health, circumstances), and there aren't jobs for all who need one. Extreme poverty in the US has doubled since Clinton ended welfare. Many are a single job loss from losing everything; how do you get a job without a home address, phone, bus fare? People need poverty relief. You can't buy a loaf of bread with promises of eventual job creation.

From another post:

We ( everyone in the world ) need to get off of using fossil fuel. Global warming is real - climate change is happening. This along with the fact that fossil fuel extraction and transportation - Kills - Is more than enough reason to stop it's use. Then there are the wars it promotes for control of foreign oil fields. ALL OF THE ABOVE IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. We have alternative technology available to be implemented TODAY. Alternative technology which is clean to the environment and to all life. One example a recent episode of NOVA shows many new tech answers for pollution problems - Making Stuff: Cleaner http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/tech/making-stuff-cleaner.html Aired: Aug 28, 2013 Consider this information share this information. We can do so much better than we are. 43 minutes into the above program it talks about liquid metal batteries - this would be the most significant up-grade to every power grid in the world - as significant as stopping the use of fossil fuel. A much better use of employment and public funds for upgrading our power grid for pumping money into the economy - not throw it away like the ongoing 85 billion a month bailout of Wallstreet.
