corporation

1. Your business becomes successful to the point where you decide that you no longer want to take responsibility of it, however you decide to keep your status by renaming your position as CEO, CFO, etc. so that you can determine your own ridiculous salary and sell your stocks to "shareholders" who then take responsibility of your business. Furthermore, if your company is a bank you can then purposely go bankrupt so that the government can bail you out to give yourself a bonus in addition to your ridiculous salary because the taxpayers will pay it and they don't have any say-so in the government. You can also donate money without paying taxes to a politician's shell corporation so that nobody will ever know it was you "on record." You also (wrongly) assume that the average taxpayer is too stupid to know what's going on here.

2. An expletive used to describe anything that amounts to investment without return.

I should incorporate my business so that I can sell stock to people and then purposely go bankrupt, get bailed out, and give myself a bonus on top of the ridiculous salary I already make!

corporatocracy

A type of government in which huge corporations, through bribes, gifts, and the funding of ad campaigns that oppose candidates they don't like, become the driving force behind the executive, judicial and legislative branches.

"Man, since the Supreme Court ruled in January that corporations could spend trillions of dollars on election ads, this corporatocracy we're living in will really crap all over the little guy."

corporo-political jackassery

The shenanigans that corporations play with disingenuous politicians, which place them in a higher position than the politician's individual constituents. These shenanigans may include contributions, lobbying, influence peddling, manipulation of regulatory environments, strong-arming, or other techniques, not unlike those of organized crime, but legitimized by a corporate presence, employed to create a favorable environment for the corporation and its shareholders mostly to the detriment of the individual constituents within the district served and the corporation's stakeholders. Often corporo-political jackassery exploits weak-minded people who respond to buzzwords and grossly oversimplified skeletal concepts they don't understand with militant activism in defense of the buzzword, despite the obvious detriment to the individual; i.e., "Obamacare."

A number of protections were enacted following the Great Depression to prevent our economy from tanking, however thanks to decades of corporo-political jackassery, most were deregulated and Wall Street was alloiwed to police itself. The end product left the U.S. with massive foreclosures, layoffs, and an exodus of industry which further eroded the middle class.

corporication

Corporication, a combination of corporation and fornication, embodies the principle of being screwed by the corporations. Formed after the rise and fall of the Roman empire true..see history of corporations the concept of a corporation was that the incorporated company had all the rights of an individual, yet (surprisingly) none of the ACCOUNTABILITY! This is how the corporations can ruin the ground water, dam up all the rivers,destroy the climate, poison our food with chemicals, and wreck the forests of the world. Corporification has resulted in the human species being at serious risk for extinction. The founding principle of the ability of corporations to do this, is the belief that people (you) are sheepified and will not respond, like a frog in a beaker of water being slowly heated over a stove, you will sit, happy as long as you have your beer and pizza, and not bother worrying about the destruction of the world about you. Welcome to coporification!

Corporication. Long after the Alberta tar sands had been mined of their oil, long after the forests had been denuded and clearcut, the starving nation of Canada still did not understand the horrific corporication their country had received. far away, in warmer climes, the very rich sipped their fancy drinks in their villas on the beach and congratulated themselves on a job well done.
Meanwhile, forever altered, Canadians succumbed to the erratic climate, droughts and fierce winters. Starvation and disease from polluted water ran amok, Canada was declared unfit for human habitation in the year 2045

corporate samurai

A person in a conflict-oriented profession (ie assassin, negotiator, advertising personnel, etc)who follows a samurai-like code of ethics. This generally means limiting collateral damage (whatever that might be, depending on the profession), treating their job as 'just business (not bringing personal animosity into competition),' and respecting competitors in their profession. Coined as a part of the cyberpunk movement in science fiction, and exemplified by Case in Neuromancer by William Gibson, and Hiroaki Protagonist in Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.

Hiro was a corporate samurai for CosaNostra Pizza #3569.
