This video perfectly defines why we are in the financial problems today , its not a documentary , is not doom sayers , or people getting credit they cant afford.
Its showing the risk people will take for very little money , other peoples money.Essentially their lives are gambled in high speed traffic , and those of innocent motorists , all for the price of a couple of buckets of fried chicken and a few six packs.
This is rush hour traffic in america , a drug dealer is being chased , and throws money out the window.Chaos ensues , folk stop dead in the hard shoulder on the opposit side of the carrigeway for what.... a hundred or so bucks.
Would you risk damaging you car and dying for such a paltry sum.I would expect to see this in south america , africa etc were life is cheap and starvation warrants the risk...but in the supposed richest country in america?
One of them is so fat that its obviously not for starvation they need the cash , perhaps insulin though.
I dont even think they get enough to fill up a gas tank.
