Socialism with Chinese Characteristics

Something I thought was bullshit when I was a kid, but winds up making China the biggest star among all nations in the last 30 years and will possibly continue to drive China to an even brighter future.
- Why did all socialist countries fail but China?
- Because China was not practicing socialism, but Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.

Socialism with Chinese Characteristics

A poor man's socialist system that the Communist Party of China (CPC) or CCP claims is a whole new ideology invented by Deng Xiaoping that takes the "good parts" of capitalism without the bad, and the "good parts" of socialism without the bad and combines them to form the number 2 spot for Gross Domestic Production (GDP) globally. But is in reality just whatever the CCP says it needs to do to pursue economic growth while justifying their authoritarian grip on power in China.
A: Okay students, can anyone tell me what is the economic system of China?
B: Capitalism? Duh, Jack Ma is rich AF..
A: Incorrect.
B: Ohh Communism? They are run by a communist party--
A: Wrong again, their economic system runs on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics!
B: Really? Wow, how does this system work?
A: I don't know B, read a damn book, they change the definition every time a new general secretary is in power so 10 years from now it could mean just having an economy based off chinese scam call centres for all I know!

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
