      The DOW has absolutely nothing to do with the cost of everyday living expenses or our incomes. That is strictly a measure of how well the corporations and the elite rich are doing. Why people even use that as any measure of good or bad is insane. It’s like saying it’s really cold on Neptune today so you should turn your heater on.

      Also, if corporations are making more profits that very likely means that the people (you and me) that work for them are making even less of a % of what value we create for them than before. (I.E. wage theft by underpaying all their employees and refusing to raise wages to even keep up with inflation at a MINIMUM)

      If your wages don’t automatically go up with each years inflation be numbers by default then you got a pay cut that year.

      And if the DOW does amazing or terrible has absolutely zero impact on your day to day. Unless you are a day trader or something.
