Wanna know what hit you?

In case you have not seen it elsewhere, this two-part video presentation does a marvelous job of explaining the hows and whys of the economic collapse. After watching, perhaps you will be able to come up with a video explaining how to solve the problem.





The guy below goes over much of the same territory, with far fewer visual aids. (Hats. He uses hats.) But he turns out to be really funny, so give it a try.

Pretty facile and one-dimensional, and wait-just-a-second-there, Bub: pay $10K for a box, sell it for $11K and call the $1K difference a "profit"? Where's the shipping & handling? Who pays the light bill? Anyway, it's not new anything (it's called business), only too big for 16-place calculators and 64-bit desktop PCs. All systems eventually crash (Hitchcock on nudity paraphrased). And how do you know it wasn't one overlooked Y2K fuckup at compound interest? A better explanation and more to the point would be the shooting of the horse in Kubrick's "The Killing".
