A non newspeak term for Universal Basic Income (UBI).
When goods and services are technically available, visible in store windows, online websites and metaverses, but ordinary citizens can't access them due to shortages, rationing, price and an unacceptable social credit score.
Tantalus a Greek mythological figure, most famous for his punishment in Tartarus, was made to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches. The fruit ever eluding his grasp, the water always receding before he could take a drink.

Definition: A phrase originating from an old Asian engineering teacher that has now become popular slang among students. It is used to describe a situation or problem that is particularly challenging, complex, or confusing.
Origin: Legend has it that during a particularly tough class, the wise engineering teacher muttered "TC BURR" under his breath while trying to explain a difficult concept. The students found it amusing and started using it to describe anything that seemed overwhelmingly difficult. And thus, a new slang term was born in the halls of the engineering department.
