There was a big mall near where I live that died pretty quickly. Mostly from crime I think, people stopped thinking it was safe to go there and it died very quickly. There was a rather large strip mall and big box stores around it and they all died off a few years latter as well. Not much there now.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So the Dow lost 5.56% today, following similar losses yesterday. So, has it lost almost half its value from the high in a year or year and a half ago?

That's depressing, makes me want to watch some TV.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Dow is down like 46% from its high; the broader S&P 500 is off by about 52%.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think it is still 1000 points away from 50% of the high. Wasn't the high around 13000?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The high was 14K ish. And now we're down to 7K ish, right?
