Sucks, don't it? Alec Baldwin whines about #FightFor15 protesters blocking traffic

That seems to be the moral of this story.

Fast food workers across the country are protesting today in the hopes that their petulant whining will garner them a $15 minimum wage.

I want to applaud the workers who are organizing today int he fight to raise the minimum wage. #FightFor15 pic.twitter.com/8ngJ8WOarN

And New Yorker Alec Baldwin is totally behind them — he really is! — except that they’re cramping his style:

Protestors have blocked off a huge quadrant of midtown traffic in support of a higher minimum wage. I support their goal, not their method.

Life in NY is hard enough as is. The goal is to not make it more so. How does clogging rush hour traffic from 59th St to 42 do any good?

NY's ethos dissolves every day that individuals or groups put their needs/goals ahead of everyone else's

There are ways to rally people to your cause without inconveniencing an entire City.

Of course, sometimes it’s fine to inconvenience an entire city. As @SooperMexican points out, Baldwin’s OK with inconveniencing a city when he’s joining in on the inconveniencing:

LOL! Hypocrite Alec Baldwin LOVES Leftwing Protests… Until They Inconvenience HIM! http://t.co/MZBfgRWSQP

Ahem:

On my way to OWS.

I'm glad to see OWS back on the streets in NY….

Went down to livestream with OWS at

So, Mr. Baldwin, with all due respect, cry us a river.

@ABFalecbaldwin It interrupts your comfortable life, for one.

@ABFalecbaldwin You support them as long as they don't inconvenience you.
