I used to think the free market will take care of almost anything but this garbage has changed that. I hate that I have to believe that the government is needed to protect us from greedy pricks and stupid people.
Yeah pretty much. I didn't know what to say to Jiri's reply there.

200 points lost on the DOW isn't going to whipe out a life savings. What I found funny was in 10 minutes, it swung over 200 points down. Bear markets have some crazy swings. -777, +900, -700 all within a couple days.
