Pushing on a string
A strategy that is fundamentally flawed and not capable of solving a chosen problem, even with tremendous effort.

trypophobia
Intense irrational fear of small holes and clusters of circles and bumps. It can be triggered by consumer products such as the iPhone Max and Pro Max. The phobia can be activated in the brain when a visual stimulus has the same characteristics as a dangerous organism.
Typically computer companies like Apple and Google come up with ways in which to make their products highly addictive so their customers are highly dependent on them. Finally, they have come up with a way to become phobic regarding their devices. People with the trypophobia trait should have a selective advantage in finding a breeding partner.

kicking up
Mafia term for "paying tribute" to the Mafia Don or Chosen One. These are mandatory voluntary payments to assure the underling or minion knows their duty is to tithe and pay homage in the form of riches to the Chosen One. A model easily adapted to business and politics. Kicking up is much more lucrative than a kickback since it clearly instructs not only one's minions but everyone what the rules for doing business are.
Pence and Barr realized even the role of enforcers were not enough, to curry favor with their political boss since this would add little to his wealth. They would have to start kicking up to advertise the fact that they also had to humiliate themselves by going out of their way to frequent his businesses.

age of vulnerability
Age in which children are most vulnerable to sexual abuse and exploitation, and related mental health issues. For some children, it is the age in which they have no concept of sex or sexual development, and for others, it is an age in which they develop their reproductive phase and start having feeling sexual desire and or lack sophisticated social skills, to navigate people who want to exploit and manipulate them. For some, it is the age in which children begin to experiment with mind-altering substances such as drugs, alcohol, money, and power. For some it is the age in which they are highly dependent on a sexual abuser, such as a parent or authority figure such as a priest, or teacher.
For some it is the age in which they are poor, lack the psychological and social skills. An age when they feel powerless, and vulnerable to all sorts of manipulation and exploitation and unhealthy social pressures. It is the age in which they can be easily overpowered physically and mentally and for which they have little or no defense. And when they try to defend themselves against the abuse they are often made to feel powerless and hopeless and often further exploited and humiliated.
It is generally the age between 0-17, before the age of adulthood.
