Will Wall Street be abolished if Sanders wins?

@skdo23

As you so eloquently pointed out in another thread, the “biggest belief” in the United States right now is that young people are currently joining the military in search of handouts and other personal gains. If Sanders abolishes Wall Street it will result in large numbers of greedy self-centered young workers with nowhere to turn to but the military if the wish to keep receiving the gratification that is no longer available to them by working in finance. This will greatly swell the ranks of our military, making it even more powerful than it would have been before Sanders took office, and Sanders has always struck me as being too much of a pacifist to want this.

The military does not have to take anybody, and takes only so many recruits as its budget covers.

And only a select few of those recruits qualify to fly those supersonic fighter jets that make a loud whooshing sound as they fly overhead.

He won’t have the opportunity to affect the stock market.
History suggests that a declining market in an election year results in a change of Party.

He could rename the street to like, “Main St.”. Does that count as abolishing it? Actually, I don’t think as president he could unilaterally do that. He could call it that as a nickname though.

Some of it appears to be riffing on some of the other things Miss Days has been posting in other threads she has started.

So, understanding the thread might begin by developing an understanding of the OP.

@Onomatopoeia

Wait, **GloryDays **is a woman?

@GloryDays

I am a male. Also, Wall Street could be sunk by policies in City Hall (New York City), Albany, and Washington.

Oh. I thought Glory was your first name. My apologies.

Yabbut these guys will all be ex-hedge fund managers, and shit. They’ll bribe their way in with all that golden parachute money they snagged on their way out.

I must admit there is a certain appeal to staffing our armed forces with soldiers who can simply bribe the enemy.

Great: just what we need, an army full of Milo Minderbinders.

I don’t think the President has the power to abolish Wall Street.

To do that, I think you’d have to talk to Catherine McVay Hughes. She chairs the community board of that neighborhood of Manhattan, and I believe they are the ones to contact in order to rename streets in that area, theoretically including Wall Street.

Thinking purely hypothetically, could some kind of executive order or orders affecting government contractors damage Wall Street, at least to some extent? Perhaps by saying that the government will no longer do business with publicly traded companies, or something insane like that?

I’m not suggesting that Sanders, or anyone else, would set out to be destructive in this manner simply for the hell of it, but would it be possible?
