Slow economy

Is there any good reason for all this consumers not spending and stock markets diving and people being fired? I can’t think of one. The WTC towers were destroyed, but why is that a good reason? Oh, two towers were destroyed. Time to not buy anything and sell all my stock for no reason! Is the problem stupid people?

hey… that’s all i can think of to rationalize it.

Yes, some people make money from times like that.
