So how is this teaching those greedy 1%'s a lesson? 91 people are out of a job, and not one of them is a damn 1%'r

Of course one person here dismissed this story as poor finanical planning on the part of the business owner, and not the falut of the hippies

Any other comments? Perhaps from those who support the hippies?






Milk Street Cafe, the restaurant whose business dried up in the face of the Occupy Wall Street barricades, is shutting down.

Thursday will be the last day for the 23,000 square-foot eatery that opened at 40 Wall St. in June, the Daily News has learned.

“It’s terribly sad,” Milk Street Cafe owner Marc Epstein (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Marc+Epstein) told the News.

Epstein blamed the barricades that remained in front of his restaurant even after the Occupy Wall Street protestors were removed from Zuccotti Park.

“This is now the 12th straight week of the barricades,” he said.

The restaurant owner, who operates an eatery and catering business in Boston, said he pressed the city daily for their removal, but got nowhere.

Milk Street Cafe’s closure will result in the layoff of 70 workers. That’s on top of the 21 let go in October.

In recent days, Epstein tried to find resources to remain open, but in the end he couldn’t come up with the cash to keep the vast restaurant running.

Why are the barricades up after the Occupiers have been removed?

The first part of the story where the guy laid off 21 workers after a 33% should have sent a message to the city officials to take care of this problem

But I guess now he is not only a bad businessman but a greedy capitalist who puts his own personal wealth ahead of his now former workers

Yea, 90 people lose their job, a business closes it's door, a guy loses his investment, and the lkiberal media ignores the story

Of course, some econmic experts dismiss this story and chalk it up to poor financial planning on the part of the busines owner

On the second day of Christmas the Occupy Wall Street gave to me

Two tons of garbage

and a layoff in a pear tree
