FLESHPOT, WEALTH and TWO CONCURRENTLY, COMBINED ACTIONS, HESITATE

One fleshpot COAXING two buddies to 'try it, you'll like it' and offering a discounted cheap rate but leaving both clients unsatisfied, feeling cheated. Earning a living, making a profit, operating a business and applying all necessary techniques to maximize personal gain above all else, caveat emptor, let the buyer beware, and get away with all you can in the process. CHEAT, SWINDLE, GET MONEY IN ANY MANNER POSSIBLE.
「In China, the State Administration of Industry and Commerce (SAIC), which oversees consumer protection, says about $607 [million] worth of substandard goods were sold between 2010 and 2012 in China. This coincides with recent high profile fraud cases, product safety scandals and internet scams. The highest profile case came in 2008 when cheap infant milk formula tainted with toxic melamine caused six infant deaths and kidney problems for 300,000 babies. Other recent product crises range from unsafe toys to toxic pork to the fast-tracking of certain pharmaceuticals for official approval. Moreover, China's e-commerce industry, which has grown exponentially over the past 10 years, is also the single largest source of sales and service complaints.」

And don't forget pet foods, drywall, counterfeit rabies vaccines, and so on and so forth…you name it.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
