Young woman, high voice, undertone of whine.
"So why is the market higher today? Do you think this is a long term trend? Is it the fall of Tripoli? What's going to happen there? Do you think that the price of gas in going to fall? How far? When will it fall? Which people will take control of the government there? " And on, and on and on...
Businessmen, financial types, authoritative voices with affected accents of unsure.
"We can't do anything because we don't know what's going to happen. I mean we just don't know. How can we lend in this environment? How can we invest? We just don't know what's going to happen from day to day. Why the stock market keeps going up and down. Times are just too unstable. We can't be expected to do anything. I've never seen anything like it. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow." What they do know is that the taxpayers will bail them out and they they will get millions in bonuses, but they're keeping that secret..
Clearly these people are robots. They expect absolute direction. Hasn't anyone told them that NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW. The market always goes up and down.
Except of course the guys who control the market. They know because they make it happen. They are, however, not available for interview.
Jackasses all.
