Like sweeping something under a rug. This is the post modern, gen z style way to imply a new connotation of the underlying political weight that we can hide something in place that is obviously going to out itself eventually, but since politics are so short sighted, it's fine... This is fine... We will just shove these here for now and pretend that the waste is not as bad for the planet as other thing like... Cow farts.
Definition: "Shoving windmill blades into a coal mine" is like trying to hide something that is embarrassing, illegal, or wrong, or trying to keep a problem secret. Like, sweeping something under a rug. The additional connotation is that there is an added layer of betrayal to the common man because something described this way means the thing is being hidden by the very body that promises to have our best interest in mind.

A situation in which a woman sits cross-legged on a Lazy Susan holding a traditional wienerbrød Danish pastry. She is spun right round as several men take turns attempting to glaze it. Add schnapps for taste.
Hej Karolina, hold still! l can't hit the wienerbrød if you're conserving your angular momentum like that. This isn't anything like the Danish Windmill Experience my mom passed down in our family!
