When two people stay together in a marriage because they can't afford to divorce in today's economy. They can't sell the house in this market, and can't afford their own housing, insurance, so they stay legally married, in the same house, but live their own lives.

Get the Economic Marriage mug."Economic moat" is a term coined by investor Warren Buffet. It means how susceptible a company is to competition by other companies. Coca-Cola and Phillip Morris (Marlboro cigarettes) are companies with wide economic moats because of the popularity and consumer loyalty of their marquee brands. Boeing has a narrow but deep economic moat because its 777 and 787 aircraft are not subject to immediate displacement, but companies like Airbus and Bombardier could play catch-up over the course of several years by developing similar models that would threaten their primacy. That would close the moat.
-- "Give me an example of a company with a wide economic moat."
-- "The local water company, because no competitor can rush right in with a distribution system (pipes)."
-- "Besides, who else is gonna fill that moat? lol."

Get the Connecticut Economy mug.(Often used by greedy Republicans)
When the “economy” is booming, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. People work more than one job because too much of capitalism has driven them to need to and then the data reports to the immoral, avaricious politicians that the unemployment rate has plummeted. The lower classes don’t get enough money to consistently be financially sound for contributing all their hard work to the sake of this country run by idiots.
