Stack of papers sits on top of a wood surface. The top document titled, "The Wizard (Lawyer)" shows a long-haired character with pointy ears, holding a staff, next to text that describes their character.

Smiling woman closes her eyes and clasps her hands next to a man explaining something to us.

Looking very serious, a woman stands next to a man, explaining something to us.

Against a blue background, a woman speaks to us.

Man wearing a chef's uniform stands in front of a red food truck decorated with hot dogs with a worker standing at the order window. Next to him is a label that reads, 25%.

Man stands in front of a diagram, in the style of an old ocean map. On one side is a ship with three sails, with three lines of color flowing towards a stack of gold. Each line is labeled with different types of investments. The top line is labeled, “bond funds.” The middle line is labeled “Certificate of Deposit Series 1 Savings Bond.” The bottom line is labeled, “savings account.”

Speaking enthusiastically, a man stands in front of a photo of stars twinkling in a night sky. Five stars shine brighter than the others. Two of the stars are connected by a line, indicating a constellation.

Woman explains a photo next to her depicting a civil rights protest. In the photo is a crowd of people holding hands, marching, and holding signs. One sign says, “End segregated rules in public schools.” Another says, “We demand voting rights now!” Another says, “Jobs for all now!”

Looking pained, a woman stands in front of digital artwork of the inside of an airplane. We see rows and rows of purple seats leading to the curtains at the back of the airplane.

Holding up his hands, a man speaks to us. Next to him is a clipart of a worried woman lying in bed.

On a split screen, a man speaks to the camera. To his left is the digital art of a stack of documents that are labeled, “CBO. Estimated Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on Employment and Economic Output from October 2011 Through December 2011.

Raising her eyebrows, a woman speaks to us on a split screen. To her left is text that reads, “unemployment insurance.”

Speaking to us, a woman stands in front of a graphic with a stack of cash that reads, “Treasury Issue, $3,000,000,000,000. 2.9% interest.”

Digital art. A hand holding cash reaches out towards an old man and woman smiling and looking at the cash.
