Watching bats!
Have you ever watched bats leave a bat cave at dusk?
Now bats fly by radar, not electrically generated radar, but bat radar.
I recall as a small child watching adults load their shot guns with #8 shot and try to shoot bats in the air.
The bats apparently were just smart enough to fly high enough so that their radar would have time to pick up all of the pellets, about 1/16" in diameter, and avoid them entirely.
I never saw one bat fall!
Some of the things we humans do today is similar to trying to shoot bats.
We know it usually can't be done, unless the bat is maybe sick, but we try it anyway rather than argue with someone.
Running an economy into the ground by selling everyone an expensive house that we know they will never pay for until the banks books are so loaded with foreclosures that it becomes public, is one such bat shooting adventure.
Borrowing a large percentage of all we spend, government and citizens, is another.
Trying to implement "democracy" into oil rich eastern countries, where Kings, Sheiks, Emirs, and Despots have ruled for seven thousand years is another example.
Hiring mercenaries at high wages to help us fight wars we shouldn't even be in is destroying our own military, as well as causing us to revert to torture to survive. More bat shooting!
Attempting over and over to use the "dribble down" method of economics,
isn't working now any better than it ever has. More bat shooting. The middle class is gone due to it, and we are back to a larger percentage of wealthy than makes sense, and a very large percentage of non-wealthy, or even having sufficiency, groups of people.
Warning! Warning! Lost In Space People, such methods create rebellion!
