Yep too hot outside with all the global warming. New call of duty game coming out around election time too I think so they will most likely be occupied on election day if they're even registered to vote.

Perhaps they discovered that the economy was improving and found jobs?

Nope..they ran out of money..at least NYC did. Their last GA meeting was in March.
Now they are just a bunch of activists going around protesting the "issue du jour".

Funny I just stumbled onto this article. Looks like they're mooching off each other now instead of the taxypayers but still eating trash. Good for them. lol

"At the same time, an analysis by Reuters earlier this month found that donations have slowed to a trickle, while the movement's social media popularity, a key indicator of its strength, has fizzled since its zenith last fall. "We're finding less people living in tents, but we're finding more people sitting around kitchen tables, and more people meeting up in cafes," said Ed Needham, a spokesman for Occupy Wall Street. "There's an awful lot of decentralized organization going on."
Guest, who is white, moved to the predominantly black neighborhood of Crown Heights on June 1. He and another protester, Marisa Holmes, split the $1,400 monthly rent while they look for a third roommate to lower their costs. A number of other Occupiers come and go but don't pay rent."


"Several times a week, Guest bicycles to wealthier Brooklyn neighborhoods, like Park Slope and Cobble Hill, where he and other protesters help themselves to the bread and vegetables that gourmet shops deem spoiled or unfit for sale.
On a good night he might find trays of sushi stacked neatly in an oversized trash bag or still-fresh-looking loaves of bread from Caputo Bakery."


For one protester, 'Occupy' becomes a way of life - Yahoo! News

I am sure the big sponsers decided it was a good idea to lay low before the elections, hence the money dried up. They will be back after the elections I'm thinking.
