STACO EXCHANGE 

STACO Exchange (noun)
Pronounced: /ˈstækō iks-ˌchānj/
A mock or metaphorical marketplace where political bravado is traded for retreat. Named after the acronym TACO ("Trump Always Chickens Out"), it refers specifically to the cyclical pattern of bold economic threats followed by backpedaling, especially in U.S. trade policy.

A parody of the stock exchange, the STACO Exchange is the arena where speculative bluster gets inflated, then dumped, based on erratic political behavior, most notably Trump-era tariff talk that rarely materialized.

Markets rallied again after another bluff on China fizzled. Just another day on the STACO Exchange.

People generally have one experience or the other on Stack Exchange:

1. A great place to get answers to your burning questions. Whether it's about programming, computers, languages, drawing, writing, or much more, you're sure to get the answer you're looking for within hours.

2 An elitist network of forums where you're sure to get downvoted for asking a question deemed "too simple" by the o' so holy members. Spend hours writing out detailed responses to people's questions only to get trumped by a couple of sentences. A toxic community that should be kept away from.

Type 1: Just got my question about whether doughnut or donut is the more acceptable spelling. Stack Exchange is totally rad!
Type 2: Just spent 30 minutes correctly this guy's poorly written Rock, Paper, Scissors Javascript game. 0 upvotes and no thanks from the asker. Stack Exchange is the worst thing ever!

Stack exchange

A horribly toxic website where rather than getting an answer your question will be picked over and torn apart on every level by pretentious and petty users and mods intent on nothing but boosting their own pseudo -intellectual reputations.

"I have a question about this topic, should I post it on Stack Exchange?"
"Hahahahaha! Why bother? "
