global conflict change

When conflicts move from diplomatic disputes to violent or military exchanges. Sometimes the change is slow and sometimes there may be a rapid acceleration, where an area flips into a completely different state of conflict.
Global conflict change has heated up since 911, creating a completely different cultural and physical environment. Sadly the social sciences have not come to a consensus as to the cause or course of action. But the effects are even more glaringly catastrophic. Strategies to have the diplomats outsource to the military-industrial complex has only accelerated the warming process.

C-19 Death Panel

The public decision making body that that is unofficial and largely invisible that decides strategies that spread or stop the spread of C-19 and specially who gets treated for C-19 and who does not. The C-19 Death Panels can be comprised of different types of people in all levels of gov and private sector but not limited to public heath or medical experts. In some cases it is politicians and some cases business owners or religious leaders.

C-19 Death Panel decisions range from Politicians and Public Health Agencies deciding on strategies to prevent the spread of C-19, Public Health Agencies and Medical Administrators planning (or lack there of) to assure medical people do (or don't) have proper PPE, medical equipment, hospital capacity to heal patients or to protect even to protect patients with our without it from C-19. And there are some on the panels that make individual decisions on which medical people get adequate PPE (to protect them and/or patients), who gets tests and tested, and who gets treated for C-19, especially when there is limited capacity for prevention or care.
Criteria used by the C-19 Death Panels can be well thought out and based on data and analysis by public heath and medical professions or made on the fly by politicians or their advisers that are trained in financial and economics and whatever else they think is relevant.
The greatest innovation of the C-19 Death Panel is that it not only makes decisions on who gets treatment like other medical death panels but it is largely responsible for who and how a person gets exposed to the disease that can kill the future patient. In a lot of cases there is more than one C-19 Death Panel acting, often with completely different logic and counter strategies. Some prioritizing the economy over your grand parents and some your grand parents over the economy.

It should be noted that the C-19 Death Panels can develop strategies that create enough people with the C-19 illness to overwhelm not only everyone's medical care and medical insurance rates.

A dysfunctional condition created when those of extreme wealth such as the 0.1% use their power and enablers to disproportional influence beholden politicians to generate highly distorted institutional policies that unfairly favor those with the highest concentrations of wealth at expense of society as a whole. This is especially true when they use their power to hurt those most in need. An example, of such a policy, maybe to borrow a trillion and a half during an economic boom to give a tax break to the wealthiest of wealthy. While at the same time eliminating much of the safety net and greatly increasing the cost of higher education for the middle class during times of most need.

The methods they use to get what they want include, but are not limited to:
1. Pure Corruption and bribery.
2. Semi-legal Corruption and cronyism.
3. Rigging political institutions to do their bidding.
4. Election security and all types of contributions.
5. Setting the election agenda for politicians based on divisive issues, then make them do the bidding of the rich when win.

6. Rigging the election system.
7. Selective enforcement and interpretation of the law. Create legal barriers for the poor.
Excessive wealth disorder biggest problem is not that it preserves and protects those with wealth, it is that the preferred method is to promote unfair advantages and subsidies and often environmental destruction. Often they promote dysfunctional and hostile government practices to assure citizens do not go to the government for solutions.

Affirmative reaction

Affirmative reaction the person responsible for hiring employees crosses the line and illegally excludes qualified people from consideration because of their personal, political, spiritual, and/or economic beliefs.
Monica could you please explain your employment practices?

Yes, we have affirmative reaction. We exclude everyone who will not agree with us on every decision. We want some one who will not question bad judgement and illegal activities. This is a very open policy, many of these people are highly unqualified, and who would not normally be hired.

splinching

Splinching occurs in the planning process when a plan that is being transformed into reality is missing critical elements. Often these are important legal requirements that were put in the plan to mitigate proposed impacts and to make a bad plan pass review with strong opposition. The result often end in dire consequences. Somethings can be fixed, but often there is a mess, and the develpers often wiggle out of them, or ignor the reqirements, because they will be much less pressure to enforce them once the plan is adopted. The problem is often exasperated when when the developer runs out of money and goes bankrupt.

Splinching also occurs during apparition process between when a wizard disparates (disappears) and apparates (appears some where else). Splinching is the unintended spliting of the wizard and results in an incomplete wizard. To undo the problem the Ministry's Accidental Magic Reversal Squad is required.
Activist one: This plan is going through some serious splinching problems. They aren't putting in the environmental safe guards like they promised, and the water coming out of here looks like an LSD experience.

Activist two: Where's the County's Accidental Magic Reversal Squad when you need it.

Activist three: There sound asleep in the bed of the developers.
