It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

COMPUTEROCRACY - You have two cows.  You are shot by the Troubleshooters for practicing Capitalism, and you and the cows are thrown in the recycling vats for food.  All glory to Friend Computer.

Sartreism: You have two cows, but are nauseated by this farming existence, pressed upon you by a cruel reality.  The worst part is other people's cows.  Often, you feel like you're in hell when you have to deal with them.

Not to be confused with Camusism, which emphasizes the ability of the individual to alter his destiny by milking cows, and is against marriage to women.  Cows are fine, though.

I swear I saw that on a t-shirt.

Capitalism: You have two cows. The highest bidder gets to milk the cows. They then pay you to milk the cows and sell the milk back to you at 1.2 times the price.

American capitalism: You have two cows. Someone give you breadcrumbs in exchange for the milk. After a while, they kill you in the name of giving the cows liberty, and milk the cows all for themselves.

Japanese capitalism: You have two cows. They hire robots to milk all the cows, and slap a cute logo on the milk.

Chinese capitalism: You have two cows. They hire people to milk the cows for a few cents an hour and sell the milk for twice as many cents. Then they buy more and more cows, and start restaurants all over the world to sell the meat off the cows that fainted from overmilking.

I was referring to how capitalism should work. No punchline needed as I endorse laissiez-faire captialism.
You have two cows. Your neighbour with larger reserves of milk sells milk at loss, causing you to lose all business and go bankrupt. You are forced to sell your cows to him, and then when he has all the cows he jacks the milk price up to five times the initial price.

State Capitalism: You have two cows that the government pays you to take care of. The milk that they produce goes to the government, who then sell it back to you.
