0%

The interest percentage of choice among billions of borrowers or buyers worldwide as banks and businesses turn them into debtors, who are being lured to go on credit for products or services they don’t have the means to pay for.

Free interest, or 0% interest, is a financial drug that has kept millions in debt in exchange for instant gain or future pain.

Harriet Hageman

The female equivalent of chameleon-politician Lindsey Graham. A label for a female politician who operates like a modern-day Judas, by putting position or profit over principles or people—for example, she would call a corrupt presidential candidate racist and xenophobic, but when he later backed her against an opponent who is a critic of him, she would start perpetuating the lie that the ex-president didn’t get re-elected because the election was “rigged.”

Could a morally bankrupt Harriet Hageman function effectively or properly during her term in office, when those under her already have a low opinion of her due to her yo-yo ethical behaviors?

The Mathematics of Winnie the Pooh

Also known as “Xi Math.” When a dictator figured out that the political calculus in cracking down on democracy, imprisoning political opponents, green terrorists, and kidnapped reporters or publishers, without trial, and enacting a prolonged lockdown due to Covid-19 in spite of the economic costs, are worth the risks in securing a third-term or lifelong presidency via nationalistic means, such as indoctrinating students and teachers via his socialist writings, illegally annexing foreign lands, and sanctioning nations that side with Taiwan.

The mathematics of Winnie the Pooh shows that the odds of the power-hungry president trying to reunify autocratic China with the democratic Republic of China in coming decades are in his favor, as his life goal is to be the modern-day Mao of Taiwan.

Magatrinated

Being brainwashed or radicalized by ex-president Donald J. Trump, who has continued to spew out election lies and to promote conspiracies or pseudoscientific theories, which sound music to the itchy ears of ultra-MAGA patriots.

Guesstimate how many magatrinated folks would vote for their “political savior” in 2024 or 2028, assuming that he has not been put behind bars by then, or has since been pardoned by a morally corrupt president for his manifold crimes.

Mask Piracy

When morally bankrupt individuals flushed with cash tried to divert a shipment of masks bound for a certain country to another destination, while the goods were being transferred between planes in a transit country.

Besides sending people waving cash to buy a planeload of masks meant for France on the tarmac in China, the Trump administration was accused of mask piracy after diverting 200,000 masks meant for Germany to its shores while they were on transit in Thailand.

Pandamic

When mathematical modeling shows that the next pandemic would probabilistically come from pandas, as the virus moved from these beloved or cute animals to humans, but the potential source location of infection, be it in a zoo or forest, remains a bone of contention.

Would the next pandemic be pandamic, as people and pandas increase their close contact with each other, thus putting an end to China’s panda diplomacy?

Jolly-Jabbed

Someone who tries to get vaccinated a multiple times the recommended number of jabs, because these extra shots had apparently helped them “stay healthy” with quasi-zero adverse effects, while at the same time relieving them of acute or chronic pain, or getting rid of other health conditions.

Mr. Mandal, who claimed to have been jolly-jabbed at least 11 times of the Covid-19 vaccine, was barred from receiving his 12th shot, after the authorities horrifyingly found out about his serial deceits.
