ecomonger

An ecomonger is an anti-capitalist, self-serving, doom-merchant who believes every catastrophe is a result of a proven change in the average annual temperature and that all green initiatives should be adopted without question. The opposite of a climate change sceptic and as equally blinkered.

Unfortunately the ecomongers have long ago set their greedy gaze upon these public lands and have deemed them to be wilderness. In this way they seek to ensure that practically no one will find joy here because everyone who visits moves about with a motor. Blueribbon Coalition https://www.sharetrails.org/alerts/?alert=455

Chris Economos

When someone fails at everything they do and tend to often trip and fall on their faces and take off their shirts.

Jimmy did the Chris Economos at a party last night and Maggie dumped him.

High-Fluting Economist

1. An economist or talking head who sings the praises of the wealthy corporations while glossing over the miserable state of the working class. This would generally include the majority of all economists since only the wealthy corporations can afford to hire official excuse-makers.

2. Roughly, anyone who tells you to "whistle while you work".

3. One who plays the skin flute for his corporate daddies in exchange for Ass Tokens.

The word 'highfallutin' is based on a midwestern slang pronunciation of high + fluting or flutin'. The adjective is meant to humorously contrast the fancy and ghey sounds of a flautist (flute player) with the seriousness of everything else in the real world.

That high-fluting economist thinks he's really something special in his fancy suit and gold watch. He's just putting lipstick on a pig.

My boss has been listening to that high-fluting economist on Fox News and now he's got the Ayn Rand Effect so I could get fired just for showing up today.

Bill: If Al Gore invented the Internet, doesn't that make him the first ecommunist?
Ted: Perhaps, but I believe Bill Gates is better suited to lead the Ecommunist Party advanced in his level of ecommunism than Al.

BFF (economic disambiguation)

Butt fuck Friday. This is the day that the FDIC closes another bank, again causing the taxpayer to fund the mistakes of the greed ridden banking industry.

Holy shit, it's BFF (economic disambiguation). The Feds are gonna close Cor*s Bank today. I forgot yesterday was ROTBT (Run on the Bank Thursday).

economics

-A social science discipline with a contemporaneous logical framework that's based completely on the assumption that scarcity is a problem intrinsic to society. The effect of which justifies greed as a virtue.

-An institutional requirement for dime-a-dozen business majors, usu. taught by middle-aged, overly opinionated, white males in need of serious cultural experiences.

-Taught by sports coaches in high school as the study of "common sense."

Teacher: "Economics studies how a society chooses to allocate its scarce resources among alternative uses."

Student: "What if the society's resources cease to be scarce?"

Teacher: "How is that even possible?"

Student: "The society's productivity meets or exceeds the point of what it needs to sustain itself."

Teacher: "But individual material DESIRES are infinite!"

Student: "Only in a society that breeds such nonsense."

economics

Economics is about creating good outcomes for human beings.

Economics isn't meant to explain everything, but it is good for establishing parameters, distinguishing relationships, identifying issues, clarifying options and providing an analytical framework.

Economics can establish criteria by which governmental decisions can be made.
