Dow Jones

The Myth That Won’t Die.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a relic — the original scoreboard of American business. It’s only 30 companies, hand-picked, yet still treated like the pulse of the nation. It makes headlines, moves markets, and acts like the voice of the people — but it’s long since lost the accent.

It’s stuck in time, worshipped for its legacy more than its logic. While everyday Americans hustle to get by, the Dow’s more concerned with corporate buybacks and boardroom reshuffles. It doesn’t see the dirt roads, the diners, or the diesel engines still driving the country forward.

Verdict: Not SphstRDnck. Old-school, but not in the good way. A name with no neighborhood. History without heart.
