organizers vowed to train 100,000 people. There are already 918 planned around the country.

I think they are going to miss their mark if that's the best they can do. The more important calculation is how much money has each organization pledged to pay the protesters? At $10 an hour, that's $240 a day for a full time overnight protester. 100,000 full time protesters would cost 24.000,000 a day. At that rate they'd bankrupt the union pension funds pretty quickly, and that's where 100% of the money is coming from.
