Social leverage

That's what this seems to be about for you. Bill C-16 gives your students a degree of arbitrary social leverage that you weren't willing to afford them.

Hym "Hey, I really didn't use your work for a whole lot initially. I was saying back then what YOU are saying NOW because I was going though the thing that you are actively doing now. I had no recourse. I had no way of defending myself. I didn't even have the vocabulary to defend myself. The only tool I had to defend myself because I WAS (and still am) going though what you ARE going though. And I'm not allowed to use it because IT'S AGAINST THE RULES. And then I started critiquing it. And that's my REAL crime. It's like the chicken and the grasshopper. See, the chicken had a theory. And he thought his theory couldn't be contended with. Unfortunately for the chicken, there was a fatal flaw. You see, in the same way that there are two classes of fear, there are two classes of genius. And the grasshopper is both. So, like the brilliant deconstructionist that he is, the grasshopper began to contend with those uncontendwithable ideas. Jokingly at first. The chicken was enraged. His shining golden-god moment was sullied by the grasshopper.
And then the grasshopper began to posit HIS OWN IDEAS. And what's more, everyone loved it. They didn't just love it. It was objectively brilliant. Poetry and prose the likes of which the world had never seen. Comedy skits, philosophy, theology, social psychology. Literally billions of dollars worth of ideas. And not just quality but quantity as well. An untapped wellspring of new ideas. Some speculation. From conceptual arms deal to archetypal hero (and villian sometimes) over night.... and shit, I'm running out of characters.... Long story short, the grasshopper is now technically one of the greatest writer's all time and I forgot to use the words 'social leverage'. Shit. I went off half cocked here. I'll come back to it.

Leverage clause

Hey, trying to leverage my family to get me to do what you want is in violation of the leverage clause. There are going to be consequences the next time you do that.
Hym "Why? OK. I'll put this as simply as I can... If that spiral goes or is going off... And I kill YOU... Nothing happens and nobody cares.... If YOU kill (or incarcerate) ME ... You and everyone you know and love dies with me... Soooo... Maybe that? I have no fucking idea. That's a good question. But it sounds like you want me to get something that is ADJACENT to want I want... And I don't want something adjacent to want I want... And you have repeatedly violated the only agreement we've ever had. And have likely done some other stuff I am not going to be happy about when I find out and I WILL find out.... Soooo... Yeah. I don't know. It's weird, right? I would have thought this would have gone differently... Hmm... 🤔 You know what? That's probably my fault. I think if I hadn't gone all rapey dictator on you, you wouldn't be as resistant to what's happening here. That's probably it. But not I feel bad because if I'm NOT are rapey dictator then all the resistance was for nothing! Huh... It's paradoxical a little bit, isn't it? But hey, stop trying to violate the leverage clause."

Lethal leverage

The act of taking advantage of the grandparents' generousity for gain by the grandchildrens' parents by putting them on a pedistool.
The parents of the grandchildren want to buy a house even though they do not have sufficient funds. The parents get the grandparents to cosign for the home using the grandchildren as lethal leverage since an apartment is no place to raise a kid.

Leverage Edu

The first and last pit stop. Accessibility to students is so high that Google's jealous. Hopes and dreams take flight, hence the logo, duh.

IELTS to scholarships, everything's looked over and taken care of.
Look at her, all packed up and ready to leave for Harvard, she really pulled a Leverage Edu on us.
