Stock market pops!

The trouble is, in a media/tech controlled impatient culture - people just want some sort of closure - by the next day. Every day. Also, people are no long able to fathom not being in control of a situation - and not knowing the final result or even date of said final result. If its not breaking news, or a blip on the phone-app - - this disorientation people feel is the new normal. Some just have to get those extra steps in by end of day, some just have to have the perfect abs, some need “beat the s and p 500!”. earnings just gotta grow exponentially always, food better be “Fraaash!” and junior better be scheduled to do some activity at 2:14pm on days where the constellation Orion is over the house and the whole gang on Facebook better see how perfect one’s life is.

And despite this “wealth” and “progress” - record numbers of them are on mental meds and at worse, they start shooting or punching over the wrong food order or traffic offense.

I firmly believe this is a big reason for the wild and quick market swings. As if one headline or one story is going to be the final result for the world economy.
