Meh? This affects those of us that live in this country quite a lot. What is it that you find so odd or different about our politics from the rest of the world?
Occupy Wall Street in fact drew the attention of millions of Americans. It also had practical results by shining the spotlight on the US banking system, as did the broad public anger at Wall Street.
The largest US banks have been semi-neutered, nearly nationalized by the Fed when it comes to control, and are heavily tamped down when it comes to risk. The result of all of that, is that America's banks are now arguably the strongest - and among the safest - in the world (compare Wells Fargo and JP Morgan right now to Europe's banks for example, or see: Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse).
