Les hablo de Argentina. El pais que vivio una crisis terrible alla por el 2001. Eramos miles de cientos de personas que hicimos que las cosas cambiaran. No todo es internet o las redes sociales. Tienen que ir casa por casa. La TV de los Estados Unidos los ignora por que son pocos, no tienen la cultura de las protestas de Latinoamerica o Europa. Su gobierno es tan corrupto como las empresas, son complices. Tienen mas desocupados que mi pais que ustedes consideran pobres por otro lado tienen un gobierno que los reprime como si fuese una dictadura. Aca nos sorprende que Estados Unidos se consideren el pais de las libertades civiles y ahogan a su pueblo tanto como hace Siria. Tienen que ser miles y miles como en Chile, España, Italia, Israel. A los empleados de las corporaciones que tienen que transmitir que mañana se quedan sin trabajo como paso en el 2008. Su protesta es contra el gobierno que ayuda a las compañias financieras. Tienen que protestar contra los que tienen la autoridad.

(TRANSLATION OF THE SPANISH COMMENT FROM DARIO IN ARGENTINA):
I speak to you from Argentina. The country that experienced a terrible crisis back in 2001. We were hundreds of thousands of people who made things change. Not everything is online or social networks. You have to go house to house. The TV of the United States ignores you because you are few, you don’t have the culture of protests from Latin America or Europe. Your government is so corrupt and businesses are complicit. They have more unemployed than my poor country that you consider poor, on the other hand you have a government that represses like a dictatorship. Here we are surprised that the U.S. considers itself the country of civil liberties and suffocates the people as much as Syria. There have to be thousands and thousands as in Chile, Spain, Italy, Israel. To the employees of corporations, you have to accept that tomorrow you will be left without your jobs as a step, like in 2008. Your protest is against the government that helps financial companies. You have to protest against those who are in authority.

Good translation Jessica but at the end it should be “you will be left without your jobs just as in 2008.” and “You have to protest against those who have authority.”
