i’m no economist paul krugman, but doesn’t it seem crazy that we all care what the completely insane stock market is doing right now? after a week of ridiculous ups and downs, hasn’t its temperament completely lost relevance at this point? plus, why are we gauging the economy based on what a bunch of wall street frat boys think and do? aren’t they the ones who got us here in the first place?
in related news, i clicked on a new york times link about a high school football player dying. this is not a story i normally would click on, i just needed to not read about what the dow was doing in the past 10 minutes. sign of the times.
