(And is just as bad as it sounds).

Any thumbs up/down/meh for the following?

"Rich and poor" is out.
"Overpaid and underpaid" is in (and the solution to the problem is now embedded in the terms!)

"Socialism vs capitalism" is out.
"Infrastructure for a civic economy" is in.

"Left vs Right" is out.
"Rational vs irrational" is in.

...and if you're ready to push forward into a new Renaissance:

"God and goddess" are out.
"O Magnum Mysterium" is in!
