The Downward Spiral

A blantantly sexual, profane, beautiful Concept Album by Trent Reznor, aka, Nine Inch Nails. It might be the best CD by Trent Reznor.

The Downward Spiral is most likely my favorite CD by NIN.

My herpes is flaring up again, right when I have a hot date. Surali must have cursed me.

public transit death spiral

The process by which a chronically deprioritized, underfunded and racialized municipal public transit system originally conceived as a public good for efficient daily mobility needs is further morphed by the political establishment and the capitalist system into an afterthought with an unsustainably funding model, leading to a feedback loop of reduced service, reduced ridership and reduced investment to the detriment of all people.

"Do you remember back in 2020 when the United States Congress failed to appropriate necessary funds during the COVID-19 pandemic and thus enabled a nationwide public transit death spiral from which we're still recovering in 2040?"
"Yeah, that sure was disappointing and avoidable!"

Downward Spiral

1. When somebody goes into a downward state of depression and (maybe) finds their way back up.

2. A Nine Inch Nails album.

1. Ohh, man, i feel like shit today. I think i'm on the downward spiral.

2. I am a big man, yes I am, and i've got a big gun. Got me a big ol' dick and i, i like to have fun.

Horny eagle death spiral

Sam o nella's way of describing what happens when something quickly deteriorates in value or quantity.

Sam o nella: "It dawned on people that these pieces of paper wouldn't be useful in a pile of wet tea and smoldering patriots, causing their value to do one of those horny eagle death spirals"
