Oh boy. DJIA is down 389 2.3%.

Wealthy folks are circling the wagons.

Maybe some Wall Street types will jump out of their office windows and make the world a little better place.

We need to sit the two of you down together for a beer. I'll buy.

Please don't buy any publically traded beers, I'm short. Private labels are OK.

So is it time to eat the rich? How much longer do we have to wait?

I am mostly kidding, but at some point the widening gap (at historic levels?) of rich and poor have to be addressed, right?

This should go under random musings, but the boyfriend made a couple grand working as a union carpenter (overtime, double time etc) in a short period this month and his boss asked him why the south doesn't like unions. (Unions are the devil in the south, carpenters make $12 per hr when things are going well--unless they bid the jobs as GCs)

Bf replied, "Well, if they called unions something else, maybe confederacies, they might be accepted"...
