Riganomics 

Another word for Reaganomics but we all know it's RIGGED, also known as trickled-down economics and voodoo economics. Bueller? This was the economic policies of President Ronald Reagan in the 1980's which basically means give more money to rich people and corporations and then everyone will prosper. Bullshit! The minimum wage in 1981 was $3.35 per hour, adjusted to inflation would mean $10 per hour in 2020. Sounds good right? WRONG! Since Reagan's two term presidency, the minimum wage only went up 45 cents, while the cost of living went up....because by 1990, the minimum wage was ONLY $3.80 per hour, adjusted to inflation would ONLY be $7.75 per hour.......which means the minimum wage hasn't changed in the past 30 years! Right now, the national minimum wage in 2020 is only $7.25! This is why 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck in America while rich ASSHOLES in Wall Street and the top 1% are getting richer and richer.....This is why America is the ONLY 1st world developed country with NO free universal healthcare....because corrupt politicians use our tax money to benefit only rich people!

"Hey, Ron, let's lower taxes on the rich, cut funding for education/healthcare/anything important, then spend so much on useless crap like missiles that we end up in debt for the rest of our lives and those damn Boomers can't have their social security."
"Huh?"
"Good choice, Ron. We'll call it Reaganomics."
"Uh, OK."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
