New York Stock Exchange

I find it unusually strange to stand outside a building that is cordoned off to the public to snap photographs, yet alas I do. But oh no, we are not allowed in to view the goings on from the inside. This pretty much sums it up, like minions, we are all affected in our lives by the decisions made inside this building; but we are not made privy to the goings on inside the walls of the New York Stock Exchange.

The fact that this building is located on Wall Street is not lost on me, they have erected a wall around the NYSE to keep the great unwashed at bay. This might be viewed as a monument to insider trading, corporate fraud and white collar corruption. Undoubtedly, we need stock exchanges to provide capital to build an economy, but not exchanges run like this one.
