Holy in the eyes of the dollar.
Another sign that capitalism is the state religion: Apparently, (and I just found this out, unworldly straw-chewer that I am) if you set foot anywhere near the NY Stock Exchange, you have to be wearing a suit and tie. Must. Even if you’re a reporter.

This may be old news to many, but it makes me think of the fact that this is how church used to be: You dressed up. Women wore hats, period. Now --and I am speaking quite generally-- church is more of a free-for-all in terms of dress-code. But the stock market-! We’re talking sacred, kids.
