when the economy picks up

Common beginning or ending to a sentence. It can serve to:

1. provide an excuse for why one has not yet done something.
2. suggest a vague intention of doing something later (similar to how Spanish speakers use the word "mañana.")
3. add minimal credibility to an idea that is a pipe dream.

1. There's no point in looking for a job until the economy picks up.
2. I'll start my business when the economy picks up.
3. Unemployment levels will go back down to the levels they were in the late 1990s when the economy picks up.

Wal-Mart Based Economy

Town or city that has lost a large economic base; such as a mill or military site. And the Wal-Mart Supercenter seems to become the hub of all economic activity. Everyone Shops there, works there, eats there, has babies there, etc.

After Vandeliegh industries moved out of town, they've had a Wal-Mart based economy over in Oniontown.

Moneyless economy movement

A movement that seeks to saet up an economy that doesn't use money. It would use either the sex barter system where people would have sex with someone in exchange for goods and services or every one would have a certain grade that would determine what they could get in goods and services and they would work to get a higher grade.

John is in the Moneyless economy movement.
