Do you get a DOW jones check?
Do you get a DOW jones credit on your cash app?
Does the Dow pay rent? the mortgage? medical bills? gets you laid?
Ok, the Dow is irrelevant to you.
plus the dow jones these days is driven by very few stocks. Because we all ordering shit online and binging
most of us are the endless pool of new cash that gets thrown in the stock market using our automatic contributions to our retirement accounts. We are the tit they keep sucking on and if we are lucky we will see some moderate gain in the single digits before uncle Sams takes 1/2
wealth to me is having STABILITY, the ability to get paid a fair wage for the work I am doing, and the ability to afford normal shit with said wage without being forced to use financial instruments where the DOW FUCKS above take a cut.
the Botton line, they scoop up the gains and you and I have to watch our 401K get anemic. ( Remember 2008?).

To sum up Flawrida’s new history of slavery spin:
Slavery in the US was a successful voluntary foreign employment, training and personal skills empowerment program.
People across the Atlantic abandoned family and clothes and jumped on ships for a piece of the new American dream.
2/ these volunteers hid deep in hot rat infested tight spaces inside merchant ships & even chained themselves to each other and to the ship’s beams in a form of a modern sit in protest to remain on the ship and not be asked to disembark.
3/ these foreign African workers, determined to live the American dream, overcome with joy and enthusiasm, didn’t even care about food while crossing the Atlantic. They all said: we will grow our own food and cotton when we get to the promised land. Hell we ll even do it for free
If Twitter ends tomorrow or this week, this is my most cherished memory of being in this hellhole.

My third favorite twitter event, when I assumed I was crazy when trump started talking about the traffickers and the border and I realized he was basically repeating what he saw in a movie, then, maddow confirmed it a few days later
I remember when former presidents left after a peaceful transfer of power, didn’t take boxes of classified material, didn’t get raided by the FBI but rather got together, roasted each other and raised money for humanitarian causes.
Watch this, then think : Trump.
It is insane
To be fair, this was trumps participation at the event to raise money for hurricane relief
Even when dubya, the guy who started an endless bloody war, black site waterboarding, the patriot act….was likable in these moments when he made sense and inadvertently predicted trump. Listen.
