People Power

A 1986 coup d'etat that became a so-called revolution, no thanks to some economic hitmen and greedy oligarchs jealous of Ferdinand Marcos, who was able to prevent an oil crisis that ravaged many Western countries in the 1970's. It signaled the end of 13 years of peace, progress and stability and the return of the oligarchs that fucked the Philippine nation and its citizens.

Jake: Are you going to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the "People Power Revolution"?
Raul: No way. I'm sick and tired of that shit. Plus, I am not a Yellow Zombie and I don't like the so-called celebrities that are part of that self-serving "celebration".
Jake: Yeah. And what kind of government are we in? A mixture of a kakistocracy, theocracy and elite democracy. Can't wait for 2016, so I can cast my vote for Bongbong Marcos.
Raul: Me too. Can't wait for him to become president in 2016!

Power to the People

A statement of empowerment for the general population. Used in the 60's and 70's as a call for revolution.

For Halloween, a coworker was a 60's hippie with a big fro. "Power to the People," I said.

Make sure you get paid the proper rate when doing tasks for people in positions of power. One of the reasons they are rich and successful is that they prefer to make money for themselves rather than for others. That’s a lesson you need to learn.

peoplepower

Gender inclusive for manpower.
“The number of people working or available for work or service.”

Unicycles are not an efficient means of transportation because you have to rely solely on peoplepower rather than the gears.
