The Most Important thing Which Happened Today

Which predictably A2K is not talking about because almost no on here has any ability to prioritize things being that they are mostly ignorant Americans....Is that criminals were able to shut down NASDAQ. Wow. Hopefully there are a few folks over at NSA wondering if they might have been focused on the wrong thing (mining all digital data for threatening looking patterns) these last ten years. Disruption of the markets will cause this very ill global economy to come crashing down in short order if it is not policed. The global financial services system has been under sustained and increasingly desperate attack for over a year, time is running out to beat the bad guys. It would have been nice if a little more effort had been put into strengthening the market systems against the criminals, but no such luck.
