The Soup of Wall Street

30. Why Does Everyone Ignore the Stock Market?

Soup Martinez

The market just threw its biggest fit since COVID… and nobody noticed. Restaurants are packed, streets are buzzing, and if you didn’t check your portfolio, you’d never know the S&P was spiraling. Unlike 2020’s synchronized collapse, today’s economic weirdness is a solo act.

So while the wealthy lose sleep over red charts, debt-holders might actually benefit. Call it a silent wealth tax, with bonds back in style and international stocks showing up to play. Meanwhile, the average American is more tuned into Taylor Swift than Treasury yields.

This isn’t just a blip—it might be the first market-led shift since 2008. The question is: will Wall Street’s mess eventually spill onto Main Street, or are we entering a new kind of economic split-screen?
