Urban Foraging

The term used for the gathering massive amounts of "free" items at local fast food stores, convenience stores, coffee shops, etc. so that you do not have to purchase the items at the grocery store.

We ran out of paper towels, so we're going to head to Taco Bell and do a little urban foraging for napkins.

Foreign Aid

Foreign aid is domestic theft. Foreign aid is stealing money from poor people in rich countries and giving to rich people in poor countries. It’s not even aid—it’s corruption, a bribe to get them to accept US mandates. Foreign aid never helps poor people; it just buys cocaine, SUVs, and whores for the gangster-warlord ruling class of that country. Foreign aid is exactly the sort of internationalist evil that the US was supposed to be founded in opposition to; it’s socialized evil for foreigners...
1. If you support the government stealing 1/3 of our pay at IRS gunpoint every year and giving to evil foreigners: murdering-raping-torturing Islamic gangsters like Nouri Al Maliki and Hamid Karzai, oppressive/murderous Israel, chick/baby slaying African warlords--you’re a goddamn traitor and you oughta be killed with a pipe.

2. You support foreign aid? Get the fuck out of my car right now. I’m serious.

corporate foraging

Corporate foraging is the act of scavenging meals in an office environment, thereby sustaining oneself purely on the food leftovers from lunch-time meetings. Frequently practiced by single adult males, but also observed within a wide range of demographics.
“Hey Andy, did you see the meeting with the two dudes on the third floor? They have three pizzas in there! There is now way they will eat all of that pizza – I think it is time for a little corporate foraging. We will need to be swift, because pizza is a hot commodity and the Marketing Scanvengers have been active on the third floor this week”

foreign factor income

in economics, the net income from assets that are owned by foreigners. The citizens of a country will own assets that are physically located overseas (for example, real estate in another country, shares of foreign stock, or even labor performed while an expatriate), and those assets earn income. At the same time, foreigners likewise earn income on assets located in ones' own country.

If domestically-owned assets located abroad earn more income than domestic assets owned by foreigners, then there will be a net flow of income from overseas. This is a collateral benefit to running a trade surplus, especially over several years.

An example might be the United Kingdom (UK) during the 19th century. Prior to the 1880's, the UK exported far more than it imported. With the foreign money, it bought assets in the economies of other countries, such as the USA, Continental Europe, and the future Commonwealth of Nations. These assets naturally earned a lot of income, as they accumulated over many decades. The income from these assets was so large that, after the 1880's, the UK ran a trade deficit but still had a current account surplus.


In the case of the UK, the current account surplus from the NFFI was still large enough that the UK could continue to buy foreign assets that earned income, even as its trade deficit grew during the early 20th century.
