iNert

The state of being so engrossed in one's device (iPhone, iPad or equivalent) that one remains oblivious to all surrounding activity and communication and to the social norms that once governed them. Accordingly, the Law of iNertia states that a person engaged with his or her device will remain so engaged, regardless of any forces acting upon them to achieve a change of state. (The Law of iNertia thus operates contrary to the Law of Inertia, according to which a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will continue moving with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external non zero force.)

inertia whore

A politician or oligarch who sells himself and sells out egalitarian ideals in order to maintain an illussion of status quo while hoarding resources and retaining power within familiar institutions, albeit diseased and and unsustainable ones.
The temporary 2004 tax cuts which morphed into the 2012 hedging to waylay equitable tax reform keeping prolonged focus on the "fiscal cliff" and simultaneously characterising U.S. pensions (Social Security) as a contributory cause for federal deficit prove John Boehner to be such an inertia whore.
