One of the most destructive lies that was sold to the American public was that the stock market = economy. Line goes up means good. Even when you're homeless, hungry, and sick.
Ok, so fucking what? China could have no stock market whatsoever and still have a more productive and valuable economy than the US.
Right, I think this highlights how insane US economy is more than anything. The fact that stock market plays such a central role shows that the whole thing is a house of cards.
Stock market is totally legit and not a giant ponzi scheme. Specially vulture capital
Stock markets are to economics what bouncy castles are to architecture
