disincentive

Read a random definition: rediscount rate

A quick definition of disincentive:

A disincentive is something that makes people not want to do something. Laws can create disincentives by punishing people who do certain things. For example, if a law says that people who lie about their company's finances will go to jail, that is a disincentive for companies to lie about their finances. Sometimes, when a law creates a reward for doing something, it also creates a disincentive for doing the opposite. For example, if a law says that people who tell the truth about illegal activity will not get in trouble, that is an incentive for people to tell the truth, but it is also a disincentive for people to keep quiet about illegal activity.

A more thorough explanation:

A disincentive is something that discourages people from doing something. Laws often create disincentives through penalties, liability, and taxes. For example, the possibility of being sued for securities fraud is a disincentive for companies to lie to the public about their finances.

Disincentives can also be unintentional. For example, if a company offers a small bonus for employees who work overtime, it may unintentionally create a disincentive for employees to take breaks or work efficiently during regular hours.

Creating an incentive can also create a disincentive. For example, a law that protects whistleblowers who report illegal activity creates an incentive for people to report wrongdoing, but it also creates a disincentive for people to participate in illegal activity in the first place.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
