Or, wings clipped... and reach reduced.

That government is best which governs least... still has a proximity principle which has it usually being recognized and applied in function nearest to the receiving end... with the "two way function" of locality impacts having an resulting inverse function operating on the politicians... who naturally will prefer and in fact tend to become increasingly stupid from increasingly greater distances...

Distance from it is a benefit... only as long as it allows you can safely ignore it in an even greater degree with its increasing stupidity... as otherwise, the impact of ignorance is amplified in degree by it...

It is another one of those "obvious" things... repeatedly learned throughout human history... easily reduced from serial proofs in function to the obvious in first principle, too... in which WEF crowd have determined to persist and succeed in being proven more ignorant than any before them in human history...

Going to look for examples... hoping to avoid my usual counter proposal... in noting "environmentalists" requiring the reintroduction of wolves, mountain lions, and grizzly bears... in those "empty expanses" of farm country that they've occasionally flown over. I do speak from experience... as I now have all three resident in one of my favorite vineyards... and as have prior experience with each of them in other context... I'm quite aware of how that works, in the "benefit" derived from the sharpening of the senses... when one is constantly subject to an even more immediate form of predation than in the distant and political. So, sharing that benefit more widely seems well worth considering... as I believe there is no problem they have in San Francisco, today, or in New York City... that would not be greatly improved, if not solved, by reintroducing wolves, mountain lions, and grizzly bears.. into Golden Gate Park... and Central Park... where city dwellers could share "the beauty of nature at work" with us... while using nature in fostering greater understanding and mutual respect. Perhaps throw in a few bison and moose for good measure... and, keep an eye on those genetics projects seeking to reinvent the Auroch... as, it will probably generate an equally valuable experience enabling enhanced perspective were live examples of Aurochs and Grizzlies released into the wild on Wall Street ?

So, I was optimistic when I first read the headline:


Toronto's Polar Bear Swim is back after a year break due to COVID

I was thinking, perhaps, Canadian's in Toronto had figured it out as I had... and had arranged for their local politicians to take a break from regulating Canadian's every choice... including their incorrect usages of pronouns and firearms, to have them travel to Churchill, to commune with nature... and actually swim with polar bears... and thus share in the beauty of nature at work... before resuming their own work...

Alas... it seems that's not the case... Canadians in Toronto... like the WEF, or the political leadership in Beijing or Washington... will continue to experience 'the beauty of nature" only in narrowly controlled instances... while delegating its management to "experts" wearing lab coats... and otherwise counting on "experts" use of cages to sustain "the natural balance"... as may occasionally be disrupted by a "very few" truckers becoming tired of constantly being preyed upon... and, yeah... we're going to need more cages...

But... have you seen how cute they are... when properly managed ?
