capitalism is gay for pay 

capitalism gay for pay — the ironic and paradoxical behavior of the American legal system’s penchant of enacting laws against LGBTQ and Transexual people; while, simultaneously having corporate donors lining up to be sponsors for Gay Pride events when money can be made.

Cash Rules Everything Around Me — C.R.E.A.M.

This could be because of the “Double Income No Kids” lifestyle many gay people live, which gives them tremendous disposable income and purchasing power.

Or, it could be based on the deeply conflicted nature our culture has about sex and sexuality in all of its forms.

You can sell a car with a beautiful woman; she just can’t have access to Planned Parenthood, birth control, and abortion services.

Another example is the many versions of “boner pills” that can be purchased.

America, we are there for the erection — just not for the outcome.

An illustrative though not exhaustive list of “Rainbow Sponsors” include:

Ernst & Young
New York Life
Hilton
TD Bank
Converse
Toms

Absolut Vodka
Postmates
Disney (Take that Ron DeSantis a.k.a. The Great White Nope!)

A very interesting list.

One — somewhat unreasonable— response to all of this has been to shoot smaller sponsored consumer products with high velocity firearms.

This will not end well.
Capitalism isn’t gay; capitalism is gay for pay — actually a distinction without a difference.

Denture Capitalism 

Start-up and later stage funding provided to companies with potential for great gain or risk is typically referred to as venture capitalism. 'Denture Capitalism' captures the fact that venture capitalism is typically funded by elderly plutocrats.
'Sources report that Denture Capitalism kingpin Warren Buffett's interest in Mr. Vokonvov's innovative search engine has helped attract ample funding to the start-up.'

Super Capitalism 

A joke started by libertarian socialist political commentator Vaush about how Americans would have already been socialists if socialism "came wrapped in an American flag" and didn't have the baggage that the word does today. Many super capitalism memes also attempt to highlight how regular capitalism restricts freedom of the average individual, whereas super capitalism (market socialism) would not.

The term has nothing to do with Mussolini's supercapitalism which was the fascist conception of modern capitalism as a denigration of an older, better, heroic capitalism.
"Listen up y'all. You've had regular capitalism and all the wealth just goes to the corporations and these fat cats just sit up there at their big ol'... they dont do shit okay- I'm selling you... SUPER CAPITALISM! SUper CAPITALISM is SO invested in private enterprise that every single individual actually collectively owns a portion of the place they work at! You're a McDonald's fry-- chef-man? You work! That's part of your business son! That's you now! SUPER CAPITALISM! In addition... I am SO in favor of market incentives and market forces that I *reject* the private ownership of ANY industry which interferes with the function of those market forces. TransportatIon? Healthcare!? These are INELASTIC MARKETS DUMB FUCK....... SUPER CAPITALISM!"

Super capitalism 

While in normal capitalism a few fat cats sit at the top, super capitalism is so invested in the private entreprise that every single individual collectively owns a portion of the business, in order to prevent the interference of private ownership with inelastic market forces such as health care or public transportation.

Super Capitalism 

Like normal capitalism, but SUPER.

While in regular capitalism anybody could become rich, in SUPER capitalism EVERYBODY can get rich because private ownership has been SUPERfied so much that everybody privately owns part of the business they work at.
"Hey, doesn't this SUPER Capitalism thing sound a bit like Market Socialism?"
"Nah, socialism means Hitler."

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
