How to expand this image
If you press CTRL or Command and Plus (+) on your keyboard, your browser should increase the size of your page every time you do this. Press CTRL or Command and the Zero (0) key together to restore the screen to normal. I can get to at least 2 times the normal size by doing this.
How to download this image.
If you right-click the image, you should be given the option to download it to your computer. So long as you do so without a view to making a profit, you may do so without further permission. Commercial use requires consent. But if you just want to share it, do so with whoever and wherever you want. That is the purpose of these infographics.
The image library
We are planning a library of these images. It will be available soon.
AI use.
In some way or other, I used AI in the creation of this post. I disclose how I use that technology here.

This really is a brilliant series
Exactly so. You took the words right off my laptop!
Even on the household analogy, a prudent householder will mend a leak in the roof before it gets worse and more expensive. Householder may increase their mortgage. Govts should produce money for similar problems. It really doesnt work to say oh we can’t afford to do anything now and just hope the problem goes away.
