Putting the word "hippies" in with anything is a stupid notion as "hippies" don't exist anymore and aren't involved with any of it. The long haired kids are but clueless hipsters out to be cool and have fun. Hippies had a point, these folks don't.
no its not odd that you feel indifferent towards the protesters, most people do because the protesters are generally seen as trouble makers.
Actually I would just say they come off as annoying. The reason left wing politics (the protestors are almost always on the left politically) turn people off in the United States is because those on the left pushing left wing policies come off as ******** and moaning while preaching to everyone how they should live there lives. The right can ***** and moan and preach as well but honestly the left just gives off a vibe of an emo a lot of the times.
One of the biggest ******* of the left is Global Warming complaining about rising sea levels and changes in temperature and trying to not so subtly claim we are all going to die a horrible ******* death any day now because we are burning fossil fuels. Which is propaganda ******** and doesn't match reality. I love the film cool it because it gets rid of the politics and just looks at the issue rationally. The left using to much emotion to me when trying to make a point and they come off as whining and preachy which is what turns people away from them.
We work
some have schedules that are flexible
some do not have work every day or every week, they are between projects etc.
Some like myself are retired or semi retired
some are students
some are unemployed
some work part time
some people will even use vacation days from work
When you see or hear about protests it is not the same people all the time, not everybody is available for every protest, march, vigil.
Depending what the issue that is being protest you may have a totally different group of protesters one day to the next.
Yet you and your buddies attacked those of us who are trying to get out. Yep people like you but you don't know the difference between high income and the truly wealthy. In other words, if you ever do reach higher income you support government taking a bigger chunk. Learn who your enemy is before you attack. Don't fall for a greedy government who knows you don't know any better and uses your own ignorance against you.
Do who work of have 401Ks? I work and I have never had a 401K or any employer-provided fringe benefit for that matter.
You could be better off not being on a employer 401K. Mine has a index fund and slop after that and who wants to be buying into it now? Better off waiting for the crash or correction and then loading up. The funds they offer do not cover the energy sector and that is where the action is now.

What's your point? You could set up your own retirement fund but it sounds like "you chose" not to.
