Went to a talk in Austin about the 2008 crash and now I can't look at the news the same way

What was the main thing that changed your view? I keep hearing people say that but never get the details.

Oh man, @finleyw58, for me it was just seeing the actual numbers laid out. I used to just have a feeling about it, you know? Then I saw a simple breakdown of where the money really goes versus where I thought it went. It was one of those "oh...huh" moments where you feel kinda dumb for not getting it sooner. The details made the whole thing click in a way vague talk never did. I guess my main change was from being lazy about the facts to actually looking them up.
