capital accounts

Capital (in economics) refers to either equipment used to produce goods (tools, factory buildings, infrastructure) or money that is currently used to pay for business ventures. Capital accounts refers to the balance of investment that a country receives from, or supplies to, other countries over the course of a business period. So, for example, in the course of a year the people in country A may buy $1.5 million in shares and bonds from overseas, and sell $900,000 of the same (for net capital exports of $600K); meanwhile, foreigners might buy $1.2 million in shares, etc., while selling $800K of the same (capital imports of $400K). The country therefore exports $600K, imports $400K, and runs a net capital account balance of -$200K.

Over the short run, a capital account surplus can offset a current account deficit.

For the last 30 years the USA has run a surplus in its capital accounts, partly offsetting a gigantic deficit in current accounts.

Murder Capital of the World

The city with the worst recorded homicide epidemic in the 'world' - not the United States. :/

As far as history and legend goes, Medellin in Colombia. A city decimated by murderous street gangs, power-crazed drug cartels and guerilla/paramilitary bloodletting.

Throughout the 90's and early this century, Medellin held the title, peaking with around 400 homicides per 100,000 in 1991. This fell to about 150 per 100,000 during the mid to late 90's but rose again in the early 00's, approaching 200 per 100,000. These figures are even more remarkable considering Medellin is a decent sized city of 2 to 3 million people within the period covered.

Thanks to a phenomenal security clampdown Medellin is no longer the 'murder capital of the world', but it remains the ultimate example of what can happen when crime literally spins out of control.

Capitalistic weed

Mass-produced weed. This means bammer weed, cultivated by ignorant drug cartels who only think about the money and don't know shit about cannabis cultivation (no seperation between females and male plants, unprefessional treatment and shitty environment, etc.).
Tagged "capitalistic" because the people who grow this shit only do it for the money, and usually mix up the weed with toxic shit to give the weed more volume (thus increasing profit for the same amount of weed). Usually found in the Middle East and England, very uncommon in North America (U.S. and Canada, land of the dank kush).

People used to sell drugs for the sole purpose turning people on to psychedelia. Now everybody wants to earn as much as possible, and don't give a twat about the smokers' health, only about their profit and bullshit. Fucking capitalistic weed.
