Watching the way the Dow Jones average rises on the slightest promise the president’s moves to stimulate the economy will negate the economic downturn resulting from the coronavirus, right after the market average plunged following news of how the virus has affected business, reminds me of the scene in the movie Zorba the Greek where the old harpies gather like vultures congregating at the bedside of the town’s aging prostitute waiting for her to die so they can fight over her possessions. The emphasis on money above all other considerations revealed by this spectacle bespeaks a corruption of spirit that is endemic in our society and truly frightening to behold.
