It seems like Wall Street got a little winded after its dramatic plunge, taking a pause to catch its breath. This Tuesday, stock exchanges slightly calmed down after a tumultuous ride that saw them dip nearly 9% below their glittering all-time high. Let’s just say: even the stock market has bad hair days.

Investors have been nervously chewing on the uncertainty caused by a slew of factors, notably those pesky tariffs and an economy that’s been acting more moody than usual. Concerns are swirling that the ongoing tumult could push the market into a full-blown panic. But fear not, for Wall Street, wearing its best resting face, has chosen to stabilize, at least for today.

But what does this all mean for the average millennial or Gen Z-er? Well, while we’re busy hustling to make our rent, the corporate fat cats are seemingly tossing around our future in the stock market like it’s a game of Monopoly. Sure, some investors may be feeling relief with this uptick in stocks, but let’s not forget who truly benefits here.

This little breather should serve as a cautionary tale: Wall Street may look adorable when it’s climbing, but every rollercoaster has a way of reminding you it can drop suddenly when you least expect it, and it’s us, the working class, that feels the aftermath.

So go on, enjoy your avocado toast and artisanal lattes while the stock market dips and dives in ways that would make even the most daring of thrill-seekers blush. In the end, we’ll leave the financial gymnastics to the suits and focus on the everyday fight against capitalism that always finds a way to resurface. Let’s keep our eyes on the bigger picture, and remember, when Wall Street sneezes, we still catch the cold.

End of the day, don’t let their momentary highs distract you from the fact that the system is rigged. We’re not spectators in their little show; we’re the main event.
