if money were free
it would have no value
- extreme inflation

.
ignore credit scores
give everyone homes
- like musical chairs

to deny a mortgage
must be due to racism

.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
forgive all debts

settle all accounts
no one owes anything

.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
make housing costs look cheap

go paint a rosy picture
just get people to sign up

The height of the graphic is annoying. I understand that it is being used to tell the story across the timeline in a humorous fashion. But when the story is full of misspelled words, it's not worth scrolling down and reading each data point. It is clear to me that time was taken to collect the data, arrange it in the appropriate order, design the graphic, and publish it. But would it have been so hard to spellcheck it. All the hard work was done prior to that point. Yes, the numbers are important, but the message is important too. These little icky-picky things will take away from the message.
