The markets and the reality of the economy are currently at two extremes.
We have many people in our country out of work, barely getting by, or on the streets.
The markets, which are a vehicle for accumulating wealth for those with excess capital beyond their basic survival needs, are on fire and are increasing the net worth of a certain segment of society that have the capital to invest.
Inequality is being exasperated as a result. The gap is widening between the haves and the have nots.
I have lots of capital in the market. I am benefitting from this. However, the widening inequality of "recovering of the economy for some, but not all" is jarring.
