Anyone with a full time office job has a 401k, which is usually invested in a stock portfolio. Individual stocks don’t matter that much to those people, but the general market does because it’s effectively their retirement fund.


That’s why it’s extremely important to boomers, because they are retiring right now.
If you’re young, it doesn’t matter much, but young people are the least likely to vote.

I have to be honest with you fella, I still have no idea what NASDAQ and the Dow and all that other shit even has to do with the economy.

God damn, I'm on a roll today asking about stuff I have no idea about lol.

It's important to remember that Christ's incarnation on Earth, via his mother, was a direct descendant of Judah, one of the 12 tribes of Jacob (Israel), and that his blood had not been "diluted" by ancestral miscegenation

yes it is just stocks
no it's not 'only rich people'
tons of financial institutions such as banks, insurance companies, retirement funds, etc hold and manage that stuff, both for themselves and on behalf of clients
bad things happen to the stock market -> bad things happen to these institutions and their customers, which creates further ripple effects that damage the wider economy
we saw this happen last time with the 2008 crisis and its aftermath

Well to be fair I didn't say it was just rich people I said it was rich people in any meaningful way. A person like me who makes ok money certainly plays around with stocks but I'm never going to own a million shares of Pepsi or something like that. That's what I meant by meaningful way.
There are people who own enough shares of Amazon that if they sold them off it would affect the price. If I sold all my stock right now, nobody would give a fuck.

OMG they're gonna go with this insane bitch:

Abigail Spanberger, Alex Padilla to give State of the Union rebuttal​

WASHINGTON – Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger will give Democrats' rebuttal to President Donald Trump's Feb. 24 State of the Union address, congressional leaders announced.

The former congresswoman's landslide gubernatorial win in November, which made her the first woman elected to Virginia's highest office, was a rare bright spot for the national Democratic Party in a year otherwise dominated by the GOP.

"She knows Americans want lower costs, safer communities, and a stronger democracy – not chaos and corruption," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, said in a statement.
When Trump delivered the first speech of his second term to a joint session of Congress, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin offered the Democrats' rejoinder. Both Slotkin and Spanberger are former intelligence officers and politicians from states with deeply red areas.

California Sen. Alex Padilla, who became more well known after he was tackled by Department of Homeland Security agents last year during a press conference for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, will deliver the Spanish-language response to Trump's address.

At least a dozen Democratic lawmakers are refusing to attend the State of the Union entirely, saying they won't "legitimize" President Trump's remarks.

The State of the Union is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. The rebuttal will follow immediately afterward.

This is getting into the 'want to lose' territory somehow.

Already have been. Mexicans are out, Cubans are out, Venezuelans will probably be out after this election when they have a two digit shift after Maduro. The entire Southern half of South America are too chudly now. The Latinos all those countries treat like niggers are still on the plantation for now, but are not who is being catered too. The party is firstly about black women, even fags are a distant second.

He blew up the band because the rest of the guys were becoming unreliable heroin addicts. Axl only drank, he hated hard drugs.

Then he maniacally swore to make the best album of all time and spent 20 something years hiring and firing people, working on Chinese Democracy (holy based title)

The album came out a bit manic. Axl forget how to relax and overproduced the shit out of it. He should’ve just done a piano/lounge singer album, lol

Ron Thal rules, but I feel like his playing style is too playful for a GnR album. Like, no one has more fun with a guitar than Bumblefoot, but it's not hard edged enough to do that Led Zepplin + switchblades style, impo.
