As Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art, stated in a recent New York Times piece, “We live not in the digital, not in the physical, but in the kind of minestrone that our mind makes of the two.”

We are vastly less at risk and at the same time we are more worried — for the same reason.

"Spent: Looking for Change" This documentary is distressing beyond words. It's about the reality of financial services in the US - a topic about which few know the gory details, and even fewer are able to speak persuasively.
70 MILLION Americans lack access to finance. The "poverty taxes" this entails - overdrafts, cashing fees, payday loans - are neverending. It's not about being a bad credit risk. It's about being dealt a weak set of cards in a game that's rigged and distorted.
Also, mind you, this isn't a zero sum game - it doesn't mean that 'rich' clients would have to give up something in order for 'poor' clients to gain access. It's simply about providing access to the same tools from the outset. That's it.
This reminds me so much of microfinance in the developing world, yet in some ways an even more atrocious playing field given the sophistication of the game-playing that's possible in more developed

The situation is deeply miserable, even for those living slightly higher up on the shit pile. The biggest two indicators that someone will commit suicide in America are the two boxes they check on the census that are supposed to confer the most safety from misery, and the most advantage one could have in our society: white, and male. What could accuse privilege of failure more than seeking one’s own violent end?
