Of all the “Wall Street” people I know, no one is advocating not wearing masks or opening schools. The only people I’ve seen with an anti mask policy are those very far from Wall St.

I'm not talking about mask policies. I'm talking about "get employees back to work at all costs to save profits" policies.
I don’t hear any Wall St types clamoring for that either. The states far away from Wall St are the ones banging their drums to open.
Wall Street isn’t insisting on that at all.

People on Wall Street are quite happy with the current state of affairs. The five largest companies in the US - all tech - are doing great. The other companies that are important are considered “essential”.

It’s the small businesses that are struggling. This is a great opportunity for large companies.

Elon Musk may not be anti-mask but he is pretty clearly an example of someone who doesn't give a shit about public health policy.
