2. Dow will be back down in a few days.
Just like when Fed printed $260 bil the other day. They're just pissin' in the wind now.

6. They're just begging for class warfare ...
It's becoming incredibly obvious that that's what this all is.

Except we little guys aren't fighting back ...

7. Delta is NOT cutting 30000 workers.
They're cutting 2,000, but to get 2,000 people to voluntarily accept a buyout, they had to offer the buyout package to 30,000 people.

8. Thanks for adding some sanity

9. Thanks for the correction...
...The three-sentence synopsis I saw mentioned nothing about the 2,000-employee target.
