Children get a marshmallow, with the opportunity to get a second marshmallow if they wait 15 minutes before eating the first one.
During the Covid-19 Pandemic the marshmallow test is misaligned for most who don't think they can get it. If they delay gratification by social distance and wear a mask and wash hands and delaying certain activities where these things are not possible they don't get a extra marshmallow but they may get a few extra years of life and have a relative and friend a little longer.

On Air Force One on an Asian trip, Obama presented the basic guiding principle of the Obama Doctrine: "Don't Do Stupid Shit". However, he failed to give a coherent vision of the Great Stuff, or even the principles guiding such great decisions for a vision.

Get the Obama Doctrinemug. A poorly designed roundabout; eg poor design, confusing signage/road markings, mixing bikes and pedestrians into the traffic in precarious ways. The problems is made worse when many drivers are not from the local area and are not be familiar with the intersection.
We are about to enter the crashabout, don't assume the other drivers, bikers and pedestrians have a clue as to what to do.

Get the crashaboutmug. An Institution that is too big of a risk to save. The institution is often viral and perpetuates big failures to their benefit and to their constituents detriment. Their philosophy is basically: Heads I win, Tails you loose.
The failing Institution has a neg trend, that will continue since policy changes don't achieve recovery goals even when successful. For those affected there is extreme vulnerability and risk of saving it, and little to gain.
If success occurs it benefits those that caused the failure. Those most negatively impacted continue to pay the costs, and suffer.
The group saving the institution may have little control over the outcome and benefit stream, but is responsible for all the costs and liability. However, the group saving may have an agenda and be able to transfer the cost to others. And may do so at a very high price.
The group doing the saving may be walking the fine line of being an empowerer or enabler.
Sometimes as an enabler in collusion with the institution to keep the those people affected by the institution in a constant struggle for survival.
Saving the institution creates moral hazard. Failing institutions point to the negative "domino effect", where their failure will create catastrophic failure. Others argue the "domino effect" is the solution since it destroys institutions that perpetuate disasters, and end subsidized failure.

Wall Street is is "Too big to be saved".
Why would Wall Street want to be saved anyway. By most accounts it planned the failure. And bet against it's success. It would be against their free market principles to save Big Failure. And they could grab the assets up for a few cents on the $.
Italy is not "Too big to be saved". However, the Italian gov is too big a failure to save. Italy is a beautiful country and will be easy to save when the gov that perpetuated the disater is removed.
Measures to save the institition may cause more suffering than letting it fail. Saving the institution may not save the positive attributes of the institution, which may not have any to begin with, especially when those most responsible for the failure have the most to gain, and profit.

Get the Too big to be savedmug. Dog lovers typically prefer to have personal relationships with animals that they can control with a rope. The rope is typically attached to a collar that is placed around the dogs neck.
Dog lovers love to mico manage the dogs by yelling a never ending array of commands at every few minutes, or by rope. Typically the dog seems to have more intelligence or at least the upper hand psycologically and is in fact controling the dog lover.
Typically the owners drag the dogs to hundreds of places in the neighborhood where other animals pee or crap, and look with the same enthusiasm as a CSI investigator when they find a new one, moving their dog in the proper position. After finding all the poop and pee the dog lover then typically puts it in a clear bag like on CSI. Shortly after the bag is filled the dog lover will typically crouch to the ground and wear a big smile and try to kiss and be licked on the face by the dog.
Dogs are perfect for a relationship where they are constantly being yelled at and micromanaged because they typically do not know understand the human language or the commands. This makes it possible for dog lovers to continually micro manage through the dogs lives. Or should I say the dog typically micro-manages the dog lover using reverse psychology.
Dog lovers prefer dogs, because they typically don't go crazy after being yelled at. In some cases the dogs seem to enjoy the pleasure of driving their masters to the brink, by ignoring the dog lover.
Unlike parents of children, dog lovers can lock the dogs in the house all day or tie them up in their backyard. It is rare that a loved dog will grow neurotic and mall a child. However, it can be costly to repair the house and yard, and repair neighborhood kids who leap into the mouths of dogs.
Many dog lovers look like the typical parnoid persons who walk around your neighborhood once or twice a day with plastic bags full of dog shit. This paranoia type behavior may spread rapidly from dog lovers to non dog lovers around the neighborhood especially when these dog lovers walk by their non dog lovers yards. Occassionally some of these paranoid non-dog loving yard owners will smell like dog excrement, look mean and nasty and say very unkind and intimidating things to the dog lovers, and their dogs.
Dog lovers have their dogs tutored so they will not have sex related problems, and so are easier to maintain than kids, who are harder to tutor and cannot be neutored.
