Wait a minute, did you say journalists 'work?'

Well, they do expend energy. Most of it goes directly into increasing entropy, though.

Why not? The casinos never close, why should the markets? Unless they need the 'down time' to adjust their numbers.

If you want to find a journalist working on a Saturday or Sunday for that matter, go to Substack. Amateur journalism is ongoing 24 hours a day at X. You will never see the stock market open on weekends because the politicians and elites need Fridays to utilize their insider knowledge.

Subtle, funny, and clever. Before I read it I wondered if Rat would add 2 cents to the current situation, and you did. : )

How does one get media to actually (legitimately) work any day of the week ?

Controlling the market. Remember, the house wins more often than not. Would be lucrative.

Seems that lately no reason is needed to start or worse, create a war.
