Contribution 

😐............... What? Oh! Yeah, I don't have anything to contribute to that. I'm not an economics guy.
Hym "Yeah, I got nothing for that. You covered pretty much the entire breadth of my economic knowledge. Buy cheap, re-invest the dividends, invest in gold, hire a broker. That's all I got... Which proves that I give good advice in spite of my lack of experience! I've said all those things before! See!? I know my stuff. I learned it from some guy! But that's my entire contribution. I have nothing else to add."

Contribution Balanced Participation 

A way of contribution to services that comes from gifting culture. It allows for people to choose their contribution from 0 to ∞. It enables everyone to meet in the same circle, as we all have something to learn from each other. It is the most inclusive way of contributing to each other.

It can be shuffled within a sentence when you use it.

This is the explanation used to introduce it:

Today, it is an undeniable situation that there is a gap between people's solvency —ability to pay.

With this awareness, we believe everyone giving what they can according to their wealth is the best way going forward in terms of equal access rights.

People with more wealth can give more, while people with less wealth can give less. We don't expect to see proof of wealth. We simply believe in the integrity and fairness of your choice. We expect you to decide how much you value this journey and your contribution.

This way, we unlock the opportunity to give everyone access to this experience and contribute. We balance this contribution thanks to you. We want people without the ability to pay at the moment to benefit as well. We think, through this inclusivity, all of us can meet around the same circle. We are introducing the Contribution Balanced Participation Fee to unveil the unifying power of money.

Where do you see yourself creating this balance?

You can choose anything between 0 — ∞. The choice is yours.
I made my contribution balanced participation to an amazing Design Playing™ program.
I balanced my contribution by paying them €1000, so that all these people who couldn't pay can participate as well.

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
