The statement 'When revenue’s low and inflation’s high? Hasa Diga Eebowai' and its subsequent references in the conversation chain use a phrase from a satirical musical to express frustration or resignation towards difficult situations, such as economic issues or perceived governmental or societal failures. The phrase 'Hasa Diga Eebowai' is a fictional curse from the musical, which translates to a blasphemous statement against God, used here to symbolically reject or criticize the status quo or authority.
