The age demanded that we sing
And cut away our tongue.

The age demanded that we flow
And hammered in the bung.

The age demanded that we dance
And jammed us into iron pants.

And in the end the age was handed
The sort of shit that it demanded.

-- Ernest Hemingway

They fear a stock market crash/slip and all I can say is Hemingway said it best,
"And in the end the age was handed, The sort of shit that it demanded."

You give it and get it...

The Age Demanded -- Ernest Hemingway
