immigration Industry

(a very offensive term I found on Craigslist): for a Western country to be letting in immigrants, even undocumented immigrants with no criminal records, from Third World countries and at the same time outsourcing the low skilled jobs that these immigrants are capable of doing.

ethno
before embarking on an Immigration Industry policy, Western governments should, IMHO, first learn what ethnocultural neo-anthropology is all about

Goodswill Industries

A chain of "thrift stores" which operates by having people donate their garbage for free, only to have the chain mark the items up and sell them to others for more than they are worth. The front-line workers are paid chump change on the pretext that this is a charity, somehow offering "vocational training" to people with limited job prospects elsewhere.

Unfortunately, if people donate their garbage to you and you resell it, it's still garbage... yet somehow they could sell me trousers with holes in the pockets, refuse to take them back and still fail to turn a profit on these ridiculous transactions.
The Goodswill Industries banner is gone entirely from any point in Ontario, Canada east of Toronto or north of Newmarket after a spectacular 2016 bankruptcy in which the Toronto-based regional chapter of the chain was revealed to owe six million dollars of money it doesn't have, most of it to its own workers. One corner of Southwestern Ontario is unaffected because it belonged to a different regional chapter, centred on London, but Ontario is otherwise finally rid of Goodswill.

Strategy Industrial Complex

The term coined by Sadagopan Singam refers to the self reinforcing ecosystem of research firms, consulting companies, analysts, and influencers that shape and often amplify corporate narratives - especially around emerging topics like GenAI, Digital Transformation,ESG and Innovation Strategy etc. It represents how these players mutually benefit from creating frameworks, maturity models, buzzwords, and “thought leadership” which companies feel compelled to adopt, often without sufficient diligence or grounding in real business impact!
The strategy industrial complex thrives on fear based messaging - if you are not on the latest trend, you are behind - creating a self sustaining demand for playbooks and advisory services!
