The one and only Part 1:
Meanwhile, while trying to share a belief to friends and friends of friends at a social function..
Jared: I guess that big words can make easy stuff to understand appear far more complex than it really is. So hypothetically speaking, if the word “interest” means what someone pays a bank in addition to repaying a loan the person took out, let’s say that several people want to take out loans for their mortgage payments from one bank, and then if that bank were to then feel a need to sell all the loans in one “mortgage-backed security” to another bank. However, due to the seller’s firm belief in survival of the fittest, maybe the bank who sold the mortgage-backed securities to the other bank, would not tell the purchasing bank that in reality, the people (and (possibly) to their surprise as well) will actually be unable to repay the loans and therefore unable to pay interest (in addition to repaying their loans). So therefore the bank (who purchased the faulty mortgage-backed security(s)) would then go bankrupt (since the purchasing bank expected people to repay their loans and make money off of the additional interest payments).. So instead of having the one bank who profited off of selling the faulty mortgage-backed securities (to another bank) financially assist the bankrupt bank who purchased any amount of them, the federal government would then tax the people who did NOT create this mass bankruptcy, because (what if!?) the banks who created the problem helped the politicians become elected right..? So therefore, instead of the political lawmakers holding accountable those who assisted them to rise to power through campaign finance, the lawmakers would therefore tax those (with less intimidating power) who had nothing to do with the financial crisis to assist the bankrupt banks..
Fred: You are full of lies..
Tom: Yeah bro, you don’t even have any sources to back that up!!
Jared: Well if you watch the documentary “Inside Job” that Matt Damon—
Fred: Bahahahaha!! So Matt Damon knows what he’s talking about!? You crack me up bro..
Jared: He narrated it!!
Erik: He’ll probably claim Michael Moore is a “genius” next..
Jared: Yuh know wha—
Rob: You’re a dumbass..?
Luke: Bahahahahaha!!
Jared: Okay why don’t you read this article from The Intercept!!
Person #1 shows Person #2 the article..
Fred: Bro, you didn’t even read this..
Jared: Well it’ll still talk about what I’m trying to say..
Anthony: Jared, you’re fighting for the right side, you just don’t know how to fight. These guys are killing you man..
Bob: Jared’s a liberal nut!
Jared: This has NOTHING to do with being “right” or “left”.. I’m neither!! And regardless of history, all I was talking about was a possibility, yet you guys are making me into some kind of political “enemy” in response to me trying to share some innocent belief I have!
Fred: It’s not innocent if you’re spreading misinformation!!
Jared: Man fuck off.. I was just trying to make conversation, yet I’ll shut my mouth again..
Tom: Good. Please do that.
Jared and Tom get into a fight, then the police and EMTs arrive, and Jared is taken to the emergency room as Tom is taken to the police station..
