Stock trend since 2009 doesn't seem too different from Walmart, really. Is a shift towards a permanent underclass a cause or symptom of the recession? Did the investment class see the bank bailouts, economic shifts, etc. etc. in 2008 and realize a vast swath of people are screwed, or are they screwed because of the actions of the investment class? Seems like a chicken and the egg scenario. Also, what happens to the people of Decatur, AK the next time the economy does bottom out?
