Disintermediate

In a tough, competitive world, it is crucial for CEOs to have direct and forthright conversations with clients and suppliers. To do that effectively, they have to disintermediate their direct reports and even their techies, which means that they will be able to get accurate information from the field without it being filtered or biased, say, by their direct reports who may only want to tell their CEO what they think he or she wants to hear.

“By using social media tools like Twitter themselves, CEOs can disintermediate everyone from the data stream. They can connect directly with customers, clients, suppliers and others and hear unfiltered reports of what is really going on in their enterprises. Just as importantly, they can make their views known to their followers and stakeholder group without it being filtered by their PR people or the media. In times of crisis, this might save the organization.”

disinsection

Getting rid of insects. Like disinfection, but for insects rather than germs.

Public health officials instituted aircraft disinsection in the 1930s out of concern that aircraft might transport mosquitoes that might be vectors of disease.

Disinvite

What happens when people act like a bitch and don't want to watch the National Championship with their friends, and instead they decide to watch it with their parents instead.

"Hey come over here at half time."

"I'm watching the game."

"We're streaming it. Come over here at half time."

"No I'm staying here."

"Why, are you watching it with your parents?"

"Yes."

"Oh, you can't give us a response because they're sitting right next to you aren't they?"

"Yes."

"Well you're a little fucking bitch aren't you?"

"Yes I am."

"Well listen here you little cumguzzling gutter slut, you are officially disinvited."

Compound Disinterest

300+ years of the United States not only failing to help black people, but oppress, jail and financially strangle them to the point where the hole is so deep there's almost no way out. A total disinterest in black lives compounded by time = systemic racism. It's why the average net worth of a middle class white couple is 10x that of a middle class black couple.

Discrimination based on race and ethnici ty takes many forms. The United States has made progress in eliminating some of the legalized racial discrimination of years past such as slavery, Jim Crow laws, “separate but equal” schools, and
prohibitions on voting or owning land. But the compound disinterest in black lives has taken its toll in things like the formation of "ghettos" due to redlining and school performance and test scores being almost distinctly tied to income levels.
