Great Canadian Promise

A broken promise
A promise that is full of shit
Instead of basic words of fond farewell, Canadians will promise something that is unlikely to happen as they don't know how to simply say goodbye.
"Great" is added to sound great just like the Great Canadian Bagel, great Canadian Super Store and all the other great Canadian stuff that isn't so fucking great after all!
I'll give you a call; we'll go for beers.
Let's do lunch.
We should get together sometime.
I'll talk to my buddy, he'll sort you out.
Yeah, I can fix your car; I'll come over on the weekend
They'll be here in a week to do the work.

profit

Profit is a corrupt form of getting money. The maths can prove this.

Price = Cost of production + profit.

Rearrange to get:

Price - profit = cost of production. The product suddenly costs less.

It is impossible to gain profit fairly because it is stealing.

If you are Christian, Matthew 6:24: You cannot serve both God and Money.

If you are not religious, trust your morals.

It is the anti-Robin Hood effect. Steal from the poor, give to the rich. That is what profit does, floats to the top.
Look at that man with his big house. How many people has he stolen from to get that? Where has the profit come from? The majority.

Prometheus Effect

A refusal to trust that something, i.e. a film, that looks promising will in any way live up to that promise, and a persistent belief that it will, in fact, totally suck. Based on the sharp discrepancy between the heightened anticipation for Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" based largely on thrilling trailers, and the joyless experience of watching the disjointed, nonsensical & pretentious film.
"I gotta admit that the most recent trailer for "Alien: Covenant" looks kinda cool, but I refuse to get my hopes up and be excited for anything anymore--total "Prometheus Effect".
