Overall not too bad of an economic system but could use reforms such as how this one billionaire over a bunch of people who do often work harder then the billionaire yet the billionaire makes millions and millions more then the workers. Even if the billionaire did work hard it is not humanly possible to work millions of times better then the employees make.

That one ex you always think of first when someone says "your Ex". No matter how many ex-girlfriends or boyfriends you have, there is always going to be one who stands out in your memory, one who you always think about unbidden. Normally this is the ex who had the most serious relationship with you. The phrase "capital Ex" is used to differentiate.
The "E" is capitalized.
Rob: "Hey man, I ran into your ex today. Turns out she's lesbian now."
Jon: "Shelly?"
Rob: "No man, Jenny. Why do you always think I mean Shelly?"
Jon: "I don't know. I guess she's just my capital Ex."
No matter how many exes you have, there's always that one Ex.
When you want to call someone so lady-like that calling her just a lady doesn't cut it. You go above and beyond, by calling her a capital lady. It runs along the same lines as capitalizing something to show emphasis, but you indicate the capitalization by saying "capital" before "lady".
Not only is she talented, funny, beautiful, and wonderful, she is also a capital lady.
