Dear Economy,
What, you weren’t getting enough attention?
All those full pages in the business section of every single daily newspaper devoted to stocks and bonds and commodities and currencies weren’t enough for you?
All those incomprehensible acronyms we were forced to digest every day as we watched the morning news? DAX, NASDAQ, TSX, STOXX — I mean, come on! It’s like you were just trying to see how many Xs and Qs you could get on the TV screen at once.
Well, I’ve got news for you, Economy: two can play that game.
You’ve had your spot of revenge. You’ve made us all whimper and moan for a good long while now. We all now know how powerful you truly are, even if none of us understands you.
Look, we’ve all worked really hard for you. We go to work every day in shoes that pinch our feet. We put up with co-workers who bring stinky steamed broccoli to the lunchroom. We’ve licked many, many postage stamps. We’ve tried hard to make you happy.
Please. All we want are our jobs baq. So why don’t you pull your kniquers up, grab a Qleenex, and kixstart our lives again.
I swear, Economy, you’ll make front page news.
Yours,
The Goat
