Laissez-faire Tyranny

When the state is oppressive and the nation is in dire straits but the rulers don't give two shits what goes on anywhere and the government does nothing (except suppress change maybe). It's oppression through inaction, tyranny of negligence. Usually this occurs in a rigid hereditary absolute monarchy where a bunch of inbred fucks can party until they get lynched by peasants, but really anything can end up in such a state.

People have applied the term "laissez-faire tyranny" to the Late Ancien Régime and the Qing Dynasty

ghetto fair

Parking lot carnivals, usually around in spring, with cheap food, crappy kiddie rides, rigged games, awesome carnies, and of course, zonkeys.

S.I.R.: Right now, I'm torturing myself at the ghetto fair. It's awful.

Not fair to the other guys

You are not doing anything one the basis of fairness. How I am being treated there cannot be considered fair in any way shape or form. And you're not paying me to stand there and not nothing. I am doing all of the register work.
