The Suit-and-Tie Scoreboard.
The S&P 500 tracks the biggest corporate giants in America — the movers, the shakers, the household names with trillion-dollar footprints. It’s steady, diversified, and often treated like the health meter for the economy. But here’s the rub: it tells you how the top is doing, not the folks grinding every day to survive.
Sure, it offers a picture of stability, but it’s a rigged portrait — painted from the penthouse, not the front porch. It doesn’t measure small businesses, family farms, or the everyday grit of the working class. The companies on this list don’t wave the flag for the people — they just use it in their marketing.
Verdict: Not SphstRDnck. Balanced on paper, unbalanced in principle. Profitable? Sure. But not in service to the common man.
