A right wing government's blatent way of squandering hard earned tax payer's money by freely giving it to the big corporations they worship so much
Usually we would do this by hiring diggers at ridiculous prices from plant hire firms to fix up the roads, but since all the roads are fixed now and we have no excuse to give the plant hire firm more money we will just put it into corporate welfare

not a real mowhawk. what happens when a young trendy man (i.e meterosexual) with a short sensible haircut gets a tub of hair gel and tries to spke it up down the middle before going out on the weekend. it can look ok, but mostly looks dumb.
ooh, that punk has liberty spikes but that metero just has a corporate mowhawk.

(FINANCE) someone like Carl Icahn or Victor Posner; a manager of a PE fund or takeover vehicle (e.g., T. Boone Pickens with Mesa Petroleum) who organizes hostile takeovers of undervalued corporations.
WHY THEY'RE BAD
Corporate raiders insist they're looking out for the shareholder by forcing the managers to focus on increasing the value of the firm. If a company's share prices are high, it supposedly reflects well on the management of the firm; if the prices are low, the shareholders presumably would benefit from the takeover battle and subsequent change of management.
The flaw in this argument is (a) shareholders are not the only stakeholders in the corporation; workers, neighbors, and consumers also have interests that deserve protection; and (b), the impact of the corporate raider on FUTURE shareholders is inherently damaging over the long run because the targeted corporation's share prices are driven to a higher baseline anyway. After the takever battle between the raider and management, FUTURE buyers of the stock pay a higher price but are stuck with stagnant share prices because further increases don't make economic sense.
If the leveraged buyout succeeds, the company is saddled with debt in excess of its book value, which imposes an extreme burden; if it fails (greenmail), then company is still saddled with immense debt.
Usually a corporate raider makes his killing by risking (and mostly losing) the money of other people.
He usually quotes Ayn Rand bromides about his adversaries being moochers and wreckers, but he destroys the livelihood of thousands, and he makes his fortune through ambush.

A under-performing employee of a corporation who does whatever it takes to stay employed while maintaining their poor performance.
What happened with Rob?
Ahh, you know, he was about to get busted and transferred to another division. Typical corporate survivor move.
A man, or woman, who ruthlessly hijacks or liberates an idea from a well-heeled, intelligent veteran professional. Jackals will liberate ideas moments after you have announced the idea, and somehow spin it to make it look like it was their's.
Mike: I think we should take information a few times a week and have people present their findings at our daily meeting.
Jim: Or, what we could do is at our daily meeting, have people present findings on information pertinent to our business.
Mike: Don't be such a fucking corporate jackal
Jim: Bye now.
