The Crisis of Credit Visualized – Part 2

The Short and Simple Story of the Credit Crisis.

By Jonathan Jarvis.

Crisisofcredit.com

The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

For more on my broader thesis work exploring the use of new media to make sense of a increasingly complex world, visit jonathanjarvis.com

    I have a beautiful …
    I have a beautiful brick house in scottsdale, az, with a diving pool, have two cars and my daddy is not rich. He was shot in the vietnam war and is paralyzed on his right side. Once you realize the miracle of compound interest, you will realize that you don’t need those credit cards or a second job. Living out of debt and not paying interest will put more money in your pocket than a second job!

    The Bible also …
    The Bible also warns about laughing at the misfortune of others. Strategicatch, you are the type of so called “Christian” that makes the rest of us, but most importantly Jesus, look bad. If you want to practice that type of Christianity, it would probably be best if you kept it to yourself.

    The Bible tell us ” …
    The Bible tell us “Neither a borrower nor a lender be”. I’ve lived by that, and I have NO DEBT and my life is perfectly happy, no matter what happens to you guys. Bwahahahahaha. The Christians win again!

    I recommend you to watch “Money as Debt II Promises Unleashed” which speaks about how crises happen in our financial system.

    They became houses instead of delicious milky debts/payments

    Those houses fell in value and are worthless

    The money (debts really) that was once imaginary is now gone up in flames

    Anr: We don’t! Read up on money and debt. This was just another cycle. Goto PBS and look up the doc-vid “The Accent of Money”. New packaging same product.

    Yep. We borrow …
    Yep. We borrow money to buy their crap, to fund our wars, etc. I don’t blame them at all. They just playing the hand they have been dealt and it is a fine one :) Chin-merica YEA! I find it odd that the terrorist don’t attack those who fund us LOL. They know that the Chinese wouldn’t take that at all and would kick ass. O yea, if I remember they have the largest standing army and NUKES :) !

    Public …
    Public Transportation: I use it and am trying to get rid of it. Independent transpiration should improve my social economic status. However I agree that you should have the $ to support it. Phone: If you want to save the most use your phone for what you ‘NEED IT FOR AND NOTHING ELSE.’ Prepaid/Pay-As-U-Go=Good idea for some. Kids: I don’t have any. Thank goodness. Working on improving myself. Dating: Don’t date a woman who doesn’t want to pay for her own!
