1. Worthless crap.
2. Something that cost very little, but is usually worthless junk, and ends up costing more than you paid for it in opportunity cost.

Mass firing or purge of employees without proper review, resulting in massive destruction of human resources in a government agency or business. Often the firings are blanket firing of groups of people in certain areas, or types of employees easy to fire with the ability to appeal. The employees are often people who have no clue as the function and value of the employees and do no analysis of the implications and costs of the firing.
In some cases the firings are in retaliation for people excelling at their job, especially when it impacts special interests, with self interests vs the governments or the company.

A major wildfiring occurred when 300 employees responsible for Nuclear Weapons Securing were fired without notice and understanding of the implications, and there email and contact information was lost.
Attempts to rescind the order after the implications became apparent to those in charge of national security were made difficult and unsuccessful in the timeframe needed to prevent a emergency situation and possible catastrophe.
It is very difficult to undo a wildfiring as much of the devastation to the human resources has been done by destroying the productive capacity of the institution.

Brutal and more subtle strategies and tactics by the politicians, police, courts, corporations, and the 1% to suppress the right to free speech and the right to public assembly with regards to social, economic, and political justice. This is often done in the form shooting war veterans in the face with rubber bullets, tear gassing and beating and arresting defenceless bystanders, woman, children, protesters and the press with clubs and military like assaults. The beatings and violence suppression tactics are purported to be for public health and safety purposes (of the 1%).
This is often in contrast to the suppressors efforts to accommodate a small minority within the 1% (.0001% that destroyed the economy) by failing to enforce laws, writing new laws to make illegal activities legal, and providing perverse incentives, perverse subsidies, perverse bonuses, perverse tax breaks, perverse corporate transfer of wealth from the shareholders to the top management that increase social and economic injustice and destroy the economy for the 99%. The brutal tactics are supplemented by much more repressive tactics governmental by goons of the 1% that write laws and self-regulate their activities, since these methods are more pervasive and detrimental to the 99.9%

Someone should talk to the Koch Brothers about sponsoring a tea party for the Mayors and Governors to discuss improved methods for "gooning for the 1%". These Occupy Wall Street people are getting to be a public nuisance, and want to slow the transfer of wealth and power from the poor to the rich. The Occupiers also want to criminalize illegal activities of the 1%.

To speak truthfully, without brown nosing or without being patronizing or without being sensitive and kind.
Susan did not pull any punches when she told Bobby what she thought of him running over her brother in the living room when Bobby was drunk and high on drugs and put the car in drive instead of reverse.
Yea, she tends to use a sledge hammer and nail to driver her point in.
I guess she figures it will stick to him that way.

Age in which children are most vulnerable to sexual abuse and exploitation, and related mental health issues. For some children, it is the age in which they have no concept of sex or sexual development, and for others, it is an age in which they develop their reproductive phase and start having feeling sexual desire and or lack sophisticated social skills, to navigate people who want to exploit and manipulate them. For some, it is the age in which children begin to experiment with mind-altering substances such as drugs, alcohol, money, and power. For some it is the age in which they are highly dependent on a sexual abuser, such as a parent or authority figure such as a priest, or teacher.
For some it is the age in which they are poor, lack the psychological and social skills. An age when they feel powerless, and vulnerable to all sorts of manipulation and exploitation and unhealthy social pressures. It is the age in which they can be easily overpowered physically and mentally and for which they have little or no defense. And when they try to defend themselves against the abuse they are often made to feel powerless and hopeless and often further exploited and humiliated.
It is generally the age between 0-17, before the age of adulthood.

Some of the lawmakers were aroused and others vomited and cried at the hearings in which they were gathering evidence on the age of vulnerability. Public Hearings in which they would gather the evidence for the legal basis for the age of consent.
