Swiftonomics 

The effect Taylor Swift has on ticket prices and the economies of cities and local businesses.

Due to the limited supply of tickets and high demand, fans pay anything - nosebleeds cost as much as $1,500 per seat - to attend a concert. The costs to see Swift aren’t just limited to the price of a ticket but also hotel prices, merch (t-shirts are $55 and hoodies are $75) and other associated costs.

I have sold my soul and my house to see Taylor Swift live. Swiftonomics in action !

trickle-down shitonomics 

How tax breaks supposedly have that trickle down effect but it doesn't work in practice? You sort of do the same with shower water.

Guy 1: holy moly, man. You smell like shit.

Guy 2: yeah, I'm a current practitioner of trickle-down shitonomics
