The term emphasizes the fact that money and time are often interchangeable because most individuals earn a per/hour salary. Because unavoidably it must be used recuperating and preparing for work eating, sleeping, on the toilet, showering dressing, shopping, visiting a doctor or dentist, resting, playing, time not used earning a salary is also "time-money".
Concise, logical, effective communication saves time-money, boosts productivity and happiness. Illogical, inconcise, wordy/redundant thus ineffective communication produces confusion, frustration, powerlessness, anger and unhappiness, and drains time-money. Depending on who the individual worker is, in a year the seconds lost as a consequence of inconcise, illogical, ineffective communication ad up to hours, days, weeks, or months. Multiplying that lost time by millions of workers in a nation adds up to years, and those years translate to lost profits and lower the GPA. Do corporations prefer to dumb (down) the masses to sell more products and more junk than to direct schools to teach students to communicate correctly? Look around.

The "mediapoly" is comprised of a handful of corporations which buy independent media outlets, merges them into one conglomerate, dictates what is news, only hires journalists who do not question the system and suppresses independent or alternative ideas and points of view (Fabara, 2017). Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg gave Bagdikian portions of the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret classified history of the Vietnam War, and he gave a copy of the documents to Senator Mike Gravel, who promptly read them into the Congressional Record (1971). In 1976, Bagdikian became dean of the graduate school of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
The "mediapoly" buys independent media outlets, merges them into a conglomerate, dictates what is news, manipulates, distorts, and ultimately controls reality, and only hires journalists who do not question and glorify the status-quo; thus covertly suppressing and censoring alternative ideas and points of view, and contradicting the freedom of speech the First Amendment grants America's taxpayers (Fabara, 2017). The mediaopoly is comprised of 7 media giants: Comcast, Walt Disney, Twenty-First Century Fox, Time Warner, Direct TV, CBS, Viacom (the last two separated in 2006).

Though I taught high school and college, I love teaching second graders so much because they are tender and interacting with them makes me feel so hopeful. I call interacting with younger people—specially children—youth transmission.

Smart but smelly, ugly but funny, fat and ugly, fat and friendly, short but cute, tall and arrogant, intelligent but snotty, snobbish but elegant. The other similar method is two-nouns, as in skinny and tall. These two-adjectives or two-nouns help describe characters in plays, for example.

In a LIARS COURT comedy titled "Cigaretticide," the unintended murder of nonsmokers by the cigarette smoke smoker's cigarettes release in to the air is called "cigaretticide'. Regardless of what percentage of smokers know that the smoke from the cigarette they smoke goes into the lungs of every person who happens to be around them, the big news is that very few smokers know that the smoke which flows out from the cigarettes they smoke is killing some of the people who happen to be around them.
