Well, this must be a lovely way for hard-working people to start their frigid Thursday:

Protesters have shut down Route 93 north and south heading into Boston, during the Thursday morning rush hour, according to the Massachusetts State Police. …

The state police tweeted, “The I 93 protesters have attached themselves to 1200 lb barrels. Officials working to clear roadways. Avoid area seek alt route.”

The Left isn’t known for its economic sense or compassion for other people (meaning real people, as opposed to abstract characters that they create in their minds).  Blocking traffic to a major city during rush hour is hugely disruptive to a great many lives, and somewhere in the chain reaction that this wrench sets off in the economy, somebody will suffer because of it.

If they’re even this aware, the protesters probably comfort themselves by thinking that it’ll be the fat cats who bear the brunt of the disruption.  That isn’t likely, and given their ideology, even progressives ought to be able to understand how consequences roll downhill.

Somewhere in the scheme of things, there are struggling families who will have to struggle even more because of these idiots’ self righteousness.  Unfortunately, they’ll probably never know whom to blame.
