economic cleansing

The methods used by government or those in power to make those pesky poorer people get up and move from the geographic place they live. It could be higher property assessments, highways through poor neighborhoods, higher costs for food, shelter, and even water. If poor people can't live in a certain area then economic cleansing has occurred. It is often subtle and no one ever admits to doing it. It is the final market solution to poverty in any growth oriented prosperous community.market forces ethnic cleansing gentrification progress
The city of Leander engaged in economic cleansing when it raised city water rates so high that poor residents couldn't afford the water bill. The Health Dept. said they can't live in a trailer, where they lived for 30 years, without their city water hookup. They must move. They have been economically cleansed by the city council.

Castle Learning

An online testing/review program designed by sadists who enjoy seeing students of all ages cry at receiving low grades while taking online tests that score themselves automatically. Every so often the system will randomly freeze before telling you whether you were right or wrong just to increase your heart rate 10 more BPM.
Student: The Castle Learning is due at 11:59 pm tonight.
Friend: I know, I just finished it and got an 86. We only learned half the questions in class.

Carnegie Learning

A murderous educational math program that was made in a specific ring of fire in hell called Satan's asshole. Students who come in contact with the program are forced to give up their souls and faith in humanity after using the online learning program and after using the books. It also causes both students and teachers to cry themselves to sleep every night due to the horrendous amount of math problems.
I may be a fuckboy , but at least I don't use Carnegie learning
