*Good Morning from Occupy Boston!*
*
*
*
*
*Fact of the Day:* Scorned by its attempt to exert a $5 monthly fee on
debit accounts, Bank of America is now making millions of
dollars<http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/11/14/367467/bank-of-america-unemployment-benefit-fees/>
by
charging fees to withdraw unemployment benefits. Bank of America made $6.2
billion in profits<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/18/bank-of-america-earnings-report_n_1017153.html>last
quarter.

*Occupy Boston News:* A heartfelt thank you to Dan the Bagel Man for all
the work he has done at Occupy Boston. A tireless advocate for social
justice, Dan is hitting the road for a few weeks for work purposes. We
gladly await his return and hope other Occupations around the country can
benefit from his presence as well.

*News from other Occupations:*  One of Oakland mayor Jean Quan's top legal
advisors has resigned in
disgust<http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/11/14/oakland-mayors-top-legal-aide-quits-in-solidarity-with-occupy-protest/>at
the city's actions in trying to shutdown that city's Occupation.
