Orange Republic

Similar to a banana republic, that being a country governed in the interested of corporations, with extremely high income disparity and vast swathes of the population living in abject poverty whilst wealth and power are rapidly concentrated into smaller groups of disgustingly rich motherfuckers. Major tax breaks for the rich and exploitation of local resources and populations are inherent in both banana republics and orange republics.

The orange republic is differentiated from the banana republic in that it is run by Donald Trump. And it's worse.

Jill: Have you seen that Trump is offering tax breaks to major corporations so they don't have to pay much tax at all, to stop them avoiding tax?
Jack: Yeah, he's just legitimising tax avoidance. The US is becoming such an orange republic

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.

The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
