The Collapse of The American Dream Explained in Animation

[Maceman]

An intriguing half-hour video animation, submitted for your consideration.

I link to this video from facebook every six months or so.

Takes you right to a commercial, I won’t watch it.

Takes you right to a commercial, I won’t watch it.

Virtually all youtube videos start with commercials these days.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

It's annoying, but they only last about 15 seconds or so. Some videos you can skip the commercial after 5 seconds.

Man's gotta eat, you know!

[Carriage Hill]

Didn’t have any commercial when I clicked on it...

[varmintman]

That’s hysterical!

It’s a pity the CC is gibberish, done by a sign-language translator in S. Africa.

The Rothchilds banker families are the supposed villains here, but did they not just act as the enablers for people who kept letting ego get in the way of success?

Excessive ego has lead to more grief than anyone knows.

Some 95% of the personal woe in this world is self-induced.

The other five percent or so is largely because of stumbling in the way of somebody else’s temper tantrum.

People keep on confusing needs with wants, and it takes only a very little to generally satisfy real needs. Wants, however, can soon become insatiable.

This animation is awesome

I’m afraid virtually every video on YouTube is preceded by a commercial; part of Google’s not being evil or something. (grin) Thankfully, almost all the ads can be skipped in a few seconds if you choose to do so.

So what do you have against a business making money? Should everything be free?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

If the youtube video URL has the word "watch" in it, you can paste the link into VLC and watch the vid inside that application. I've never seen a youtube commercial using this procedure.

If the URL has the word "embed" in it, it's a little more complicated.

Takes you right to a commercial, I won’t watch it.

Your loss.

I saved it on my Real Player a year or so ago.

Saw this earlier. The key flaw in the entire video is the total lack of personal responsibility. The bank never forced anyone to buy a home they couldn’t afford. The fed might be the center of all evil, but they don’t show up with guns and force you to take out a loan. (Unlike Obamacare).

[GeronL]

If you use US currency you are pretty much living on borrowed dollars/time. At least that is the message from the video.

[Ramius]

Commercials are how broadcast media are paid for. Unless you want to subscribe and pay per view for every single little snippet of video, or have it all run by taxes and government, it’s actually a pretty good and simple system.

No mention of the gazillions $$$ loaned to The Fed by
the Chinese....a pretty big omission.
