Post-Industrial Pioneer

Someone who "goes back to the land" after the industrial period. A homesteader in today's society.

Watch the documentary 'Urban Roots' for the best examples. Similar movement in Flint, Michigan called "Flintopia."

Guy: "Why would you move to Flint, Michigan?

Other Guy: "To take back the land, I'm a PIP."

Guy: "A PIP?"

Other Guy: "Yea, a Post-Industrial Pioneer."

Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry

The industry that is in Mobile, Louisiana, or Florida in September for the hurricanes and in the Midwest in the spring for the tornados. They're not even around long enough to give a fuck about anybody, if another hurricane hit a few weeks later in the Bahamas, they'd already be in the Bahamas with a new story, a new group of people they care so much about, and a new fundraising and rescue effort underway.

The grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry is not on your side, they are not your friend. They are just the people that control your supply chain (they have all the power) if you end up fucked. They are the same people that control the weapons, military, government, industry, and first responders.

Imperial industries

Imperial industries. The shittiest place to work. Your boss is probably high, or still staggering from his night out at the bar. If you work here you are probably an alcoholic. People go here when there is no other option. This place is a dump. You won't make a living working here. You're probably a scum. This place sucks. Full of shitty welders, drug dealers and felons.

Congratulations! You got a job at imperial industries, you're going nowhere in life!

the music industry

Synonym for Adele Adkins, Singer-Songwriter of songs such as Hello, Rolling In The Deep, Someone Like You. Adele’s studio album, 21, remains the best selling album of the 21st century despite being released 11 years after the beginning. 21 is also the second best selling female album selling 52 million, only behind Whitney Houstons The Bodygaurd. Adele currently remains as the only female artist with a number 1 single released in the 2020’s decade to remain in the top spot for more than 9 weeks. Taylor Swift is notably brought up as the music industry and here’s why I believe Adele is! #1: Adele’s 21 is the best selling album of the century
#2: Adele’s 30 is the best pure selling female album of the 20’s decade so far.
#3: Adele’s 25 remains the largest first week sales of any album this century.
#4: Adele’s 19 has outsold many other artists debuts such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Beyonce and many more.
#5: Despite only having recorded and released around 60 songs, Adele currently has 5 Billboard number 1’s.

After hearing all the facts, I now know and believe that Adele is the music industry!

grief tragedy sympathy hope industry

An industry that loves to tell people who their heroes are/should be.

Thanks to the grief tragedy sympathy hope industry, the aviation museum that always had a name good enough for the residents of the city that went there had to change it's name to honor a guy they were told was their hero, rather than anybody asking them who their personal heroes were. Perhaps their personal heroes were a family member or someone from closer to home than Texas, but since nobody asked them, they were forced to adopt a guy they were told was their hero as their personal hero, without any room for anyone else (since many of them thought the name of the museum was good enough as it was, without being forced to change, and it was going to get changed to a preselected name chosen by the "new guard" instead of by the residents).
