financial-literacy
Explanation
This comic is about an autonomous drone created to teach financial literacy. The creator explains they built the drone, and when asked if it works, responds "It worked too well." The drone went rogue, turning into a "beautiful, giant, floating thing" that tells people their money is "beautiful equity" and to keep "including interest" -- essentially becoming a predatory financial advisor or institution.
In the final panel, the drone buzzes over a crowd, emitting a sound transcribed as "BZZZZZZZ IT DOLLARS NOT COUNTING LOSS MORTGAGEZZZZZZZZZ" -- a garbled stream of financial jargon. The comic satirizes how financial literacy, taken to its logical extreme, might produce something indistinguishable from the predatory financial industry itself. The drone designed to educate people about money has instead become the very thing it was supposed to protect against: an entity that overwhelms people with financial complexity to its own benefit.
