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.

excessive wealth disorder

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.

too big to be punished

Powerful interests that are not subjected to normal legal proceedings, but instead are allowed to settle out of court and out of criminal charges, and keep their profits. In rare cases where prosecution and related settlements are even attempted, they seem outrageously small in relation to huge profits and the blatant disregard for the law by the perpetrators. Many would be easy to prosecute because the evidence is well documented by a large paper trail, and has thousands of potential witnesses that support the prosecutors case.

In many cases the "too bigs...." are responsible for massive amounts of damage to the economy and creating devastating personal losses for hundreds of thousands of people.

The banks have developed a fail safe way of robbing and defrauding their customers and tax payers, by pleading they are too big to fail, and too big to be punished.

When eating while black the woman rushed to finish her lunch on a five-minute break, she immediately became investigated when her activities were exposed by an outraged white informant in a twitter storm.

Humanity distancing

Individuals with significant advantages who distance themselves from the rest of humanity by advocating policies that create unfair advantages for themselves and multiple barriers to others such as those in the middle and lower classes and/or minorities. Instead of playing fair and getting their share based on effort they want unfair advantages for themselves when dividing up the pie, when taking risks, and when needing to be bailed out. They also want distance themselves from the rules and to rig the systems of justice and rules against the collective body of humans.

Humanity distancing policies favoring a few of the richest of the rich narcissists to maintain a safe distance above the others in society to assure that the downward pressure from above and a trickling supply downward to those below them have only enough to get by and have a significant number of constraints to prevent the majority from rising above and improving their situation.

fsp

Fuel sucking pig. A car or truck, or more commonly a SUV that uses excessive amounts of gas, and spews green house gases.

Wow you got a really really nice fsp.

Yea, this sucker goes, 0-80 in 7 seconds.

Man, that means you could be in a gas station by the end of the day.

Naw, this thing gets 9 miles to gallon and holds 35 gallons, on a long trip sometimes I have to get gas by noon.
