Trying to understand the ever-changing concepts in our society can definitely give one a headache. Economics and the many variations of it is one of those concepts. Now, we are not trying to teach you about market economy using cryptic metaphors, similes, and analogies, because there's a much more straightforward way to get the point across - cow cartoons.

The internet created an excellent medium for many memes, funny comics and infographics, and since it is much easier to understand the information conveyed through that, the world wide web can be harnessed not only for time-wasting purposes but its intentional use - sharing knowledge. The following list from Newstalk uses funny cartoons with cows to highlight the differences between various political and corporatism systems. Yes, the cow joke comparisons are simplistic, but each one contains some grain of truth.

There are so many of these corporation businesses and economy examples depicted below with cow puns, that you will surely find something that you didn't know before.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You are born with no cows and you don't have the money to buy one. You have to work the rest of your life in order to buy milk. THE END

A CANADIAN CORPERATION You have two cows. Both go into the pasture to eat grass. They are milked regularly and a bull is brought in and eventually you have 4 cows. They all wake up to the rooster and the day begins again.

Swiss cheeeese Lmao The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

A BULGARIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. Both of them have an Antrax. You slaughtered them for meat and sell the meat to local stores. The slaughterhouse is closed offically and nobody knows where is the meat. You buy some more cows and keep on working.

This one is dead on, except it doesn't say how most of those 5000 cows were stolen from common people.

No, it should be like that: "The State takes both, and they disappear without trace. There is no milk either"

A German Corporation You have two cows, both of which are subject to investigation by the NSA. A whistleblower tells the hiding place to the German authorities. The cows are being deported, the cow-stock-market breaks down. American milk enters the German market. You have two cows, both of which are subject to investigation by the NSA.

A Hungarian Company: You have 2 cows. You are a farmer for 20 years. Than the Plumber claims your cows and your neighbours and hires you back as a farmer for minimal wage. The Plumber becomes richest man in the country.

You have two cows. The state takes one. The other is stolen. You owe milk to the bank. Do you have a moment to hear the word of our lord Jesus Christ?

Generation Z You buy two cows, but they die because the previous owners did not feed them. Then they blame you for being lazy.

B******t. The true story of Ukraine company goes like this: 1. You have two cows 2. Your younger brother and neighbor comes and takes away one cow. 3. When you protest, he insists that he never stole anything, AND both cows are his anyway

An Omani Corporation You have two cows You give them to an expat to manage The expat hires 98 of his friends and family and two Omanis and breeds more cows, opens a factory for milk production At the end of the year the expat gives you a glass of milk as profits and says that profits are low because of the two hired Omanis refuse to work unless you raise their salary You fire the Omanis and the expat hires 100 more friends, 10 times the Omanis salary Few years later, the expat sells everything, gives you a jar of milk as end value. You import and buy all your milk from the expats now!
