Hey, this is Wall Street, not Sesame Street

Something said to a panicked young finance professional who is whining, crying or otherwise panicking because things aren't as expected.
Hey, this is Wall Street, not Sesame Street. Calm down you little pussy.

Occupy Wall Street 

the biggest joke of a movement America has seen in a long time. made in response to the Great Recession. fueled by the thought that the Great Recession is a big enough excuse not to try to make a living and banks (no pun intended) on the idea that complaining is a great substitute for action. ignores the fact that "life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." a complete kick in the face for those who have worked for everything they have owned. destroys the businesses, cars, public safety, and even lives. a complete disgrace. i grew up out of a liberal family, and I'm not that conservative, but these people make me sick.
Jack, one of the 99%: "Uggh, this economy won't let me get a job! Waaaa! Screw those fat cats upstairs! OCCUPY WALL STREET! Come on, gang, torch that family-owned general store! Stupid capitalists! Capitalism is evil!"

General Store Owners: "I could cry right now. I've worked way too hard and have stretched by budget way too much to have my successful general store go to shambles like this. Sure, this economy has driven down the profit of my store, but I still get by, and my family has loved me for it. How the FUCK am I one of those fat cats, you bastards?!?"

Justin, one of the 99%: "JP Morgan Chase's headquarters! Torch it!"

Jack, one of the 99%: "No, they've got security. And guns. And that building is way too big. One ear of corn at a time, Justin. Lets not work too hard now."

Mother of a dead child to Jack: "You guys killed my son! He was 10 years old!"

Jack, one of the 99%: "Lets put it this way, mam, at least he can't grow up to be an evil fat cat."

slant street 

n. - geographic area located in missoula, montana, so named because all the streets run 45 degrees to the rest of the missoula street grid. slightly larger than one square mile, slant street is bounded by 6th street on the north, higgins street on the east, mount street on the south and russell street on the west. it is centrally located in the city and primarily populated by college students and young, very liberal professional/working class people. while not "tightly knit" in the traditional sense, slant street as a community is bound together by its respect for personal expression and value of individuality. the true heart of missoula literally and figuratively. of the several businesses located in slant street, all are local or statewide businesses, there are no national corporations within slant street. there are many corporate chains on border streets, but they all fall on the opposite side of the street from slant street. some might call it a neighborhood, but to any one that lives or has lived there it is a state of mind.
