Theory of Constructed Wealth

The flip side of constructed poverty: the idea that large-scale, intergenerational wealth is rarely just the fruit of individual genius or hard work, but is built and protected by constructed systems. These include favorable laws (tax codes, inheritance rules), historical advantages (land grants, slavery), and social networks that create exclusive access to opportunity. Wealth is not just accumulated; it is architected within a framework designed to facilitate and preserve its concentration.

Example: "He gave a speech about 'bootstraps,' but his company was built on a state-granted monopoly, his wealth shielded by trust laws his grandfather lobbied for. The Theory of Constructed Wealth shows his fortune wasn't a natural mountain he climbed; it was a valley carefully excavated by policy to funnel riches toward him, which he then called a peak of his own making."

The Breaching Whale Maneuver

The moment of relief experienced by the person giving head under the covers when they fling off the covers and take a glorious deep breath before returning to their feast.

He timed the breaching whale maneuver so that he could also catch that one Aragorn scene in LOTR that was still playing on the TV.

Schrödinger's Wealth

Much like Schrödinger's Turk, Schrödinger's Wealth is a term used exclusively for the Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. The term is used when a person flip flops from being rich to poor or (brokie in Hasan words) to blend in with or avoid being called out by other people

Hasan: "I grew up in poverty"

People with a brain: "Didn't this MF say he was rich yesterday? Oh his hole family had wealth? Must be Schrödinger's Wealth kicking in"

Feeding the tic tac to the whale

When a girl is so loose your penis feels like a tic tac thrown into a whales mouth.

I was smashing that puss or so i thought but it was really feeding the tic tac to the whale.

Labour is the source of all wealth

A statement uttered by Marxists infected by the spectre of Lassalle. This notion completely ignores the fact that nature contains use-values, which Marx notes in his "Critique of the Gotha Programme". (quite literally the first page)

Person 1: "Labour is the source of all wealth"
Person 2: "Lassalle, you je-

healthy, wealthy, and wise

A highly-desirable status attainable in one of three ways:
(A) Early to bed, early to rise (although tubby prune-faced ol' Benny didn't seem to "benny-fit" noticeably from THAT load-of-crapola wisdom --- just look at him, 'specially in his later years! So "frankliny", l wouldn't exactly count on this practice to produce all that much in the way of satisfactory results)
(B) Three easy steps: (1) Fake a feeling of illness "healthy" when you go to have your regularly-scheduled checkup. (Extra points if you have Obamacare.) (2) Hire a lawyer whose specialty is hospital/physician-related issues, and file a multi-million-dollar malpractice suit against the doctor who prescribed the incorrect/unnecessary medicine/treatment for your supposed malady that you turned out not to have, after all "wealthy". (3) With your ill-gotten windfall, retire to a private island in the Caribbean and spend a majority of your time studying all the great learned-writers' books Wise".
(C) Become a medical-malpractice lawyer YOURSELF! (Note: Extra points if you **don't** have ObamaCare!)

Pre-med student: I'm not sure I wanna spend my whole life workin' with blood 'n' guts every day.
Medical professor: No worries, Son --- with all of da greedy "healthy, wealthy, and wise" fortune-seekers out there nowadays, you'll likely be spending more time in the COURTroom than the emergency room, and so your daily routine will be far more broken up and less tedious than the doctors of yore hadda endure!
