Economic Coercion

What Megyn Kelly and Matt Walsh are advocating under the auspices of the bud light boycott. What it does is set a behavioral precedent so that they can control the behavior of their political opposition. They've threatened to do it again. They think they should be able to do what the woke types where doing to them by LITERALLY doing what the Chinese Communist Party is doing to Taiwan.

Hym "Hey, China is ALSO banning beer. They are banning the sale of Taiwanese beer as a form of economic coercion. That's literally what the people who lead the Bud Light boycott are doing! They are using economic coercion intimate companies into 'Refusing to acknowledge Taiwan as a country.' LIKE A FUCKING COMMUNIST! Is that what you're going to do!? YOU COMMUNIST SLUT!"

Economic Transplant

Economic Transplant: are individuals who move out of their hometowns and transplant themselves into the larger economies of bigger cities. This explains why some demographics of the U.S. population are able to become successful in obtaining better jobs in bigger cities or any city or town other than their hometown. These economic transplants usually do better than the local population in obtaining higher salaries.

Johnny moved from his hometown (Rochester, NY) to Charlotte, North Carolina recently and found high-paying job in the local economy. Yeah, Johnny is a economic transplant who moved out of the urban decay of northern inner-cities and expensive coastal cities to find greater economic opportunities than the local Johnnies of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Economics 101

Also known as ECON101 - A phrase styled after the usual name of an introductory economics module at university or college. It's usually used by libertarians and conservatives to explain away the problems of capitalism, with the implication that their interlocutor "simply doesn't understand basic economics", even though a lot of said basic economics go on to be debunked in Economics 201.

Lib: "The minimum wage was introduced so that every employed person could afford food and rent, but ever since the Reagan administration, wages haven't been following the massive increases in productivity, as well as skyrocketing rent."

Cons: "Bruh, that's dumb - raising wages means people must get fired! Also, rent is increasing because more people want to rent! Supply and demand - it's just Economics 101."

AP Economics

AP Economics is a scam class made by the collegeboard, which is ironic because they’re basically a true definition of a monopoly. If you don’t know what a monopoly is, it’s when one firm controls an entire market, getting to set their own high inflated prices, benefiting few consumers achieving a near productive or allocated efficiency. Does this sound familiar? Oh wait that’s literally the Collegeboard (commentary credit to @AnxiousJoe on Youtube. You can find it on his AP Test Tier List video.), and on top of that, you will find yourself graphing A LOT!! If you’re not a math or statistics person, graphing is going to be difficult for you. This class is basically a second math class even though it claims “that it’s minimal”, gurl I still have to find the area of a triangle in AN ECON CLASS. You may have to deal with poor grades and bad GPA!! Side effects of this class includes watching too much Jacob Clifford videos, staying up until 3 AM, having a low self-esteem, graphing until your hands hurt (aka arthritis), joints swelling, being on meds like advil and tylenol, and having mental breakdowns.

student 1: how was the ap economics test?
student 2: man i don’t understand microeconomics. what the hell is the supply and demand curve? i still don’t understand what price elasticity means.

second semester:

student 1: dude do you know what a monopoly is?
student 2: what the hell is that? i’m not learning macroeconomics right now.
