Get the Disaster on the Coastliner mug.Related Words
What occurs when, in a hopeful but failed attempt at increasing closet space, one puts multiple pieces of clothing on a single hanger. Then, when the doomed time to get dressed comes along, one ends up tangling tank top straps and wrinkling cotton while desperately trying to get only one item of clothing off the hanger. They all end up on the floor. You then have 3 options.
1. Buy more hangers.
2. Buy more closets.
3. Screw it. Buy more clothes and leave them where you goddamn please.

Hmmm, I think I'll wear my blue top. Just have to...uh...put this sleeve under that one...and...okay...no...this isn't working. ARGH! Oh fuck it, I'm going to be late. Damn double hanger disaster. "dumps clothes on floor and grabs desired item of clothing" I'll just put the rest in the hamper and pretend it's all dirty.

Get the disastro mug.(POLICY) an extreme form of capitalism created in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. In some cases, as in Chile (1973), the disaster is a coup d'etat with the express purpose of imposing disaster capitalism. In other cases, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, it is a genuine natural disaster that literally kills.
After some disasters, the authorities in some countries may well respond by imposing "reforms" that would have been impossible before. These include: (1) privatization of public property, making it unavailable to the indigenous people; (2) arbitrary elimination of laws ("deregulation"); and (3) slashing democratically chosen programs that help ordinary citizens ("austerity programs").
The concept was popularized in Naomi Klein's excellent 2007 book, *The Shock Doctrine*.

"Disaster capitalism" is neoliberalism imposed undemocratically. It exploits natural disasters, civil wars, foreign invasions, coups d'etat, terrorism, or explicit deception. It always seeks to make its changes irreversible.
Naomi Klein mostly blames the International Monetary Fund, but there are other culprits as well.
