WHY IS THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE STILL OPEN WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THERE?
If all these lockdowns and quarantines and curfews and closures are REAL and are about public health.....why is the STOCK MARKET still allowed to remain open? There are THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THERE EVERY DAY. Why is THIS allowed to continue if this is REAL?

It should have been shut down a week or two ago when the slide started just for economic reasons but if they are REALLY concerned about PUBLIC HEALTH.....

Why is the STOCK MARKET STILL OPEN?

Why aren't they closed down and forced to work from home like they're trying to make the rest of us do?

nothing else matters.

Money is it.

Money is always it.

If common sense ruled instead of money, everything would be shut down. Hell, if money didn't rule, we wouldn't even have this virus right now.

I don't think anyone has any answer to this and I would LOVE to ask all these officials and media assholes like Tucker Carlson:

WHY IS THE STOCK MARKET STILL OPEN?????????????

Not only is this bad for the economy - TERRIBLE for the economy - but it is a PHYSICAL GATHERING PLACE FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY DAY.

Why is this allowed if this flu bullshit is REAL?

None of them have any answer for this.

I see no one has an answer for this because.....

THERE IS NO LOGICAL ANSWER.

If we're not supposed to gather in large groups to prevent the spread of the flu, and this is the MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD, then why is one of the largest regular groups in the country being allowed to gather every day?

THIS IS A BIG OVERSIGHT ON THEIR PART.

Got to CLOSE DOWN the Stock Exchange to make it look more "realistic".

Are gold and silver still DOWN? I understand silver is, I assume gold is too.

Ask yourself. When have you EVER seen a time when the stock market fails and gold and silver GO DOWN???????

Something is very wrong here. It's like they don't want people to have an economic safe harbor to put funds into.

Or maybe the money doesn't matter anymore because something bigger is coming in?

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY.

The MONEY and how they handle it....is the ONLY thing that's real. Everything else is LIES. Propaganda. Narrative.

But the money....now THAT'S real. The money moves this way or that way...but it keeps moving and one has to ask....what the movements mean.

Why hasn't that already been done. There are thousands of people there every day wrecking the economy. Why close down fucking restaurants instead of the Stock Market?

Also....I think you're wrong. I don't think they WILL close down the Stock Market.

But if they do....we'll know the End is Near.

Consider how the airlines handled the thousands of frantic people trying to get home over the weekend.

They kept thousands of people IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE FOR HOURS while they "tested" them for fevers or whatever bullshit.

What better way to SPREAD an actual FLU but to keep hundreds or thousands of people in an ENCLOSED SPACE FOR HOURS waiting in line, INCLUDING ELDERLY & SICKLY PEOPLE?

These people are completely full of shit.

Why is there even still a trading floor? In the age of the Internet, it's an antiquated model. Most professional traders (99.9% of retail traders) trade online. Why can't the institutions seem to figure that out? Floor trading is inefficient to say the least and chock full of unnecessary complications and obstacles to boot. Something is very wrong with this picture. How can a guy in West Bumblefuck figure that out and some of the most profitable and liquid trading houses on the planet can't?

That's a very good question. I don't know. Maybe it's about them being able to whisper sweet nothings into each others' ears without having any kind of paper or digital trail. Or maybe they're stuck on tradition. But certainly they could do this at home via computer, but it's not about the money...I think it's about the deals and side deals and....the conspiracies THEY are involved with. There must be some reason why they insist on meeting in person.

The problem with that is the American people will be released with no fucking money at all. That's called serfdom.

If the bankers fail at averting a crash, we are literally all going to die.
Trying to save a few percent of people from possible death has spiraled into certain death to everyone when the supply chain is broken.

Trump wants to keep the markets open so he can give speeches every afternoon around 3:30pm to give them a little boost into the close, it's all he can do at this point.

Q: How does the stock exchange make money?
A: They get paid on every trade.

The exchanges are high fiving themselves big time. While the people who are buying and selling the stocks are getting their financial asses kicked, the exchanges have never made so much money.

Re: WHY IS THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE STILL OPEN WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THERE?
Okay, here's the LATEST.

Last week I had some somewhat serious dental work done. Nothing enormous but I was supposed to go back at the end of THIS week to get it checked. Which in my case was probably a good idea.

I called the dentist's office to make sure I had the appointment info right. They told me that:

THE MASS DENTAL SOCIETY HAS TOLD ALL DENTISTS OFFICE TO CLOSE DOWN AS OF TOMORROW MARCH 17 AND NOT TO REOPEN AT LEAST UNTIL APRIL 6TH.

Now I would not have even found that out if I had not had a QUESTION about the appointment.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE IN MASSACHUSETTS SUPPOSED TO DO WITH DENTAL CARE, ESPECIALLY SERIOUS CARE, FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS?


And the STOCK MARKET IS STILL OPEN.

Thanks for the idea, you're probably right. If that's his idea, it IS a stupid idea. And if the public health officials were serious, they would tell him to SHUT IT DOWN. But they don't. Haven't heard a PEEP about the Stock Market.

I think Trump has handled this very badly by going along with the System. He should have exposed it like Rush did. This is going leave a mark.
