listening to the winds of change

(lyrics from the song "wind of change" by The Scorpions) :

a phrase meaning: to be clever enough to (correctly) detect and/or predict patterns of future social change in one's society, and adapt to said patterns before most other people around you.
during the 2016 presidential election campaign most higher ups in the democratic party didnt start listening to the winds of change until it was too late, but instead focused on perpetuating obama's legacy; no wonder they lost the election.

Wind

Wind is the worse thing imaginable. When it’s October and you put out your decorations for Halloween and the wind has to be a dick and then everything blows away which is a pain in the ass
Person 1 “Hey it’s going to be very windy today”

Person 2 “ Oh crap I just put out my Halloween decorations!!!”

Person 1 “ Really you did, because I can’t see them”

wind turban

A moving-air-powered electricity-generating device dat uses wrapped-cloth headgear for catching da breeze.
If you fed a lot of Arab sheiks baked beans and cabbage, perhaps they would produce enough flammable-methane farts dat you could make a "wind turban" device to burn said voluminous anal-fuel for powering an electrical generating station.

Garbage wind

The stinky wind that blows up into your face when you open a garbage chute in an apartment building.
Garbage dust flew into my eye when I was hit by the garbage wind from the chute.
