    Yeah I mean, gains on Wall Street may be considered “stronger economic news” by some, but it tends to matter for relatively few.

    A strong economy doesn’t rely on news stories about Wall St. If I see my money going further, I take it as strong economic news. If I see my wages go up, I take it as strong economic news. If I ever see rents go down, or housing in general become more affordable, or literally anything that affects most common people in a positive way based on some financial change, I’ll take it as strong economic news.

    Wall St making more money? Not strong economic news. Just stories that highlight how the rich continue to get richer and how out of touch one small subset of the population is from the rest.
