City pensions invest just like private pensions.

But no, you’re right, a strong DOW means a strong economy. Companies buying up their own stock instead of growing their business is a tide that raises all boats. Just look at how this recent increase in the DOW has affected poverty rates and income inequality!

I don't know what liberal KoolAid you are drinking, but there are lots more people investing in the market than just companies buying their own stock.
