Everyone has an opinion about the bailout – was it enough, was it too much? Was it necessary? Is this the Land of the Free or the Home of the Secure? Should the government even be in the business of bailing out failures? Will we be better off or worse off? What can we individually and as a society learn from this?
While doing some research the other day I came across what I consider to be a very creative video that is at the same time funny and a little scary.  It is definitely opportunistic – cleverly expressing one person’s point of view about a timely issue.
If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know I value creativity very highly. I think it can be one of the most important skills we could ever develop. Most creative ideas grow out of a need to find something new, or looked at in a different light, out of a frustration with the way things are. For this reason, honing your own creativity even a little bit can help it develop into an excellent resource that could end up becoming the equivalent of having your own bailout when times get rough.
Looking at the way things are, and giving your current reality just a little twist, can result in something new that is phenomenally brilliant, usefully effective, or simply more fun. I put this video in all of those categories.
In any case, it is definitely creative! And so, for your entertainment, I offer you….The Dark Bailout
Warmly,
Katie
