I was wondering why I didn’t like granite countertops. Well, polished granite reminds me of headstones, and headstones remind me of death. Now, multiply that by a few million granite countertops, plus the second-order effects of dreary paint and accessory colors, and the state of the economy starts to make sense. Death means grief, and right now we are collectively in the Kübler-Ross stage of grief called “bargaining”, so the stock market is temporarily up. The countertops have to go, ASAP, because the next stage of grief is “depression”.
