scarf of sexual preference

Ran off with the Sorting Hat the fall of Harry's sophomore year, which is why Ginny wasn't sorted the traditional way. Called Scarfy.

A Very Potter Musical:
"And another very special welcome to our newest addition from Gryffindor, Mr. Ginny, excuse me Mrs. Ginny Weasley."
"Yeah I'm a girl, and um, also aren't we supposed to be sorted by the uh, sorting hat?"
"Well um a funny thing happened to the sorting hat, he actually got hitched with another piece of enchanted magical clothing. So he and the scarf of sexual preference aren't going to be back until next year."

struggle preference

This term mainly refers to white women that are tricked by black men with an inferiority complex into believing that they prefer white women to black women. They date these black men and are brainwashed into thinking they are better than black women. These women are usually obese and insecure and as a result of not meeting the weight standard of white men in their community go over to the black community to compete with black women for black men. This gives them a false sense of importance and relevance. They believe that because they possess white skin that black men will treat them better than they treat black women. But they are met with a rude awakening when they find out that they got the same black man that black women get. They support the black men financially, are left single moms to half black children then take to social media, i.e. TikTok, to complain about their their deadbeat black baby daddies. This type of black man is typically described as a struggle dusty therefore the "preferred" white woman is a struggle preference.

Struggle preference: "Oh, my God, Becky. Tyrone is treating me the same way he treated his ex black girlfriends. He doesn't pay child support for our three daughters and he never visits them!"

Becky: "Wow. That is totally insane. I thought he said you were, like, more submissive and feminine than his black girlfriends..."

Struggle preference: "I know, right?! He made me think I was better. I'm starting to think it was all a lie. I feel used. I believed him so I supported him financially for two years while was unemployed!"

Becky: "So, okay, I didn't want to tell you this before you guys broke up but I totally saw him kissing a black girl at Six Flags while you were away visiting your parents in Vermont...while you were pregnant!

Struggle preference: Goes on TikTok to complain about the struggle dusty

liquidity preference

*noun*; the tendency for the public to want to hold income in cash relative to its willingness to hold it as interest-bearing savings (bonds).

The liquidity preference is analogous to a supply curve for lendable funds. If the price for lendable funds--that is to say, the interest rate--is high, then the amount be be large. If the interest rate is low, then the public will be more inclined to hoard income as cash.

Income held as cash is not spent on goods and services, so if the amount increases abruptly then there will be a recession. If it is held in some interest-bearing form, then it can be spent on fixed capital, thereby increasing output and employment.

During a recession, if the liquidity preference is high, a lot of money is going to be held as cash. One could free up some cash for job-creating investment by raising interest rates, but that would eradicate a lot of business opportunities. So monetary authorities monetize debt instead, creating a new supply of credit to replace the savings lost by falling interest rates.

...An individual’s liquidity preference is given by a schedule of the amounts of his resources, valued in terms of money or of wage-units, which he will wish to retain in the form of money....
