Clever comic strip explains Wall St. meltdown
- swombat 18y agoFFS, not that one again. I've seen it about half a dozen times on reddit, and once already on YCNews.
- biohacker42 18y ago<cynicism>Ah, but this time you get in inside Flash!</cynicism>
- browser411 18y agoDebated whether to re-post or not, but given the unprecedented fallout from the previous week, I thought it was timely. I always point folks to this when they start asking about the subprime mess--it's much more engaging than some of the long, dry articles around. Apologies to those seeing it again. Hopefully it reached some new eyes.
- pchristensen 18y agoIt did. I thought it did a good job explaining things, even though it was a little (ok, a lot) childish.
- DLWormwood 18y agoUh... which comic is this again? It's not showing up in FireFox, and IE is reporting an error with the Flash Plugin. Any got a mirror to a non-locked down version? (Or the HN or Reddit article that discussed it in the past?)
- time_management 18y agoBad assumption my frigid Norwegian ass! What about the AAA rating from the agencies? They fucked up too. [...] Well that's just great, asshole. What am I supposed to tell my villagers? Tell them you fucked up. It's not every decade that real estate takes a strong economy (3Q 2007) and throws it immediately into the toilet. This is what Bushonomics gives us: our recoveries are jobless and flaccid, and our "slowdowns" are disastrous, even when they fall short of being numerical recessions.
- gg 18y agohey if you've seen it no need to leave a comment about seeing it. I've seen it and loled again.
- gg 18y agofuck you. fuck you. lulz
