Colorful mosaic patterns, on the roofs of entrance vestibules hidden from view at sidewalk level, are reflected off a chromed surface, covering the underside exterior of the celebrated wooden staircase.
It's an amazing detail!

The SPX is near complete with several higher time-frame harmonic patterns that usually coincide with reversals in charts. I've also noticed that these are areas where consolidation can happen prior to a "breakout" (trend or reverse trend confirmation) in either direction.
The elliott wave count probably locates this as a period of consolidation, prior to a wave 5, which would take the SPX to new all time highs.
All that said, the macro picture looks bleak. I'm not experienced enough to know if the macro picture always looks bleak, or if this time is particularly bleak. (Imo, it's probably always bleak, with varying degrees of bleakness.)
If we don't see a high probability recession as predicted by so many, then perhaps we're either in it now, or the money printer broke the typical cycle in exchange for a much more dramatic event. I think it's likely to happen yet... probably.
Finally, I'm trading this cautiously. If the SPX goes above the previous all time high in 2021 later this year, then I think, new optimism could express itself with risk assets making exciting highs. The "crowded trade" that bitcoin and crypto is right now, could become much more crowded as people try gambling on bitcoin, and cryptos.
The bitcoin ETF thing is a "buy the rumor, sell the news event," imo. I think it's likely to happen, and the prelude to such an event will probably be marked with progressive increases in price.
I'm not sure I'd agree entirely with you on that, but there are a lot of similarities in concept between this song and Job. I imagine it could be a retelling of several Psalms, perhaps even something like Lamentations - though, I'm not familiar with the narrative in that book.
The part that hits home for me his how often we (1) neglect to complain and protest God re. injustice as a form of legitimate prayer. and (2) that Jesus stands to reveal the Father to us, often in a way very different from our preconceptions of God.
I love that last idea: that God the father's own authority is open for appeal through God the son.
Tangentially, it reminds me of my favorite song re. the problem of evil - perhaps, in practice and imo, the most neglected issue with Christian doctrine: "Sympathy for Jesus," from The Khrusty Brothers, by Don Chaffer
Full lyrics, b/c why not... (https://www.waterdeep.com/the-khrusty-brothers-lyrics):
"I came stumbling into churchWith a hot gun in my hands
I was ready to talk to Jesus
To tell him my demands
But Jesus ain't no fool
He's seen this kinda thing before
And He had a couple angels stop me
At the front door
I said now come on that ain't fair
You should be accessible to all
He said everybody gets a secretary
Even just to take their calls
So address me to my face
If you think you've got the balls
But I ain't playin' around
Boy, at all
This was not what I expected
So I stiffened in my stance
And I tried hard to remember
Every single shitty circumstance
Then I quivered like a victim
With his predator in sight
I was ready now to vindicate I was ready to start a fight
Now you can stand right there and judge me
Shoot, you can send me straight to hell
I know you got the power
I know that fact full well
But before you do explain to me
Why suffering and why death?
And why did I pray all those years
And waste all that good breath?
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well the angels sang it under their breath by the door
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I give up, I can't go on like this any moreWell I appreciate your kind, he said
And then Jesus poured a drink
My face musta looked funny
Cause he said, It's not like you think
I'm saddled with the job you know
Of interpreting my Dad
To a bunch of frightened people,
Frightened or just mad
And most of 'em think they got it right
And then he threw some ice cubes in
But most of 'em are just dead wrong
About life and death and sin
And then I got my fiancée'
She's s'posed to speak my mind
But sometimes she's just chicken
And then she messes it up other times"
Man I love this song...
Waterdeep... if you're out there in #christiannostr in thank you for being yourselves and making music!
Hard landing final warning.

"Terrick Williams studied both in Antwerp with Charles Verlat and at the Academie Julian in Paris. Many of his early subjects were of the coastal harbours of northern France, this one though, is of Mevagissey in Cornwall from around the 1930s."
