The condition in which John McCain continues to rearrange the economy to cater to people as rich as he is (worth 100 million plus, has 11 homes, his own private jet...).
John McCain would increase taxes on the middle and lower classes, while decreasing taxes for anyone making more than $250,000. That would leave everyone below him working like slaves with no chance of ever breaking through - no matter how smart they are, no matter how hard they try, or no matter what they do in life to try to escape middle class. This McNopoly would make him and his cronies happy because they would get to stay exactly where they are while your life continues to suck.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.

Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
