23. The stock market isn't the economy

It goes up, it goes down. It's not exactly a leading indicator.

The uncertainty shows in the ups and downs, but the real world consequences of this will be in the coming recession. Job losses, lives ruined, livlihoods lost.

One thing the GOP never gets and will never get, Wall Street doesn't control the economy, they never have and they never will. The economy is completely a product of regular people having money to spend and being willing to spend it. All the rest is mumbo jumbo that is really just a reflection of that one thing. Are people still spending, will they keep spending? I know a lot of people are terrified right now, terrified people do not spend.
