Powell on Tuesday cautioned that the economic recovery remains “extraordinarily uncertain” in the face of the stubborn coronavirus.

The broad S&P plunged 31 percent for the year on March 23 after states shut down, telling people to stay inside, putting nearly 30 million Americans out of work, grounding airlines, closing schools, sports and businesses and bringing commerce to a standstill.Much of Wall Street believes the economy bottomed in April, followed by positive economic news has filtered up in May and June. Personal incomes rose by 10.5 percent, thanks largely to federal stimulus checks.

When the rest of the country is out of work and suffering, hurrah for the God Damn Stock Market. Legal gambling for the wealthy, making money off the deaths of Americans.
