Accountability

Grey hair normally indicates years.

Sometimes years filled with experiences ,sometimes years that have been wasted leaving a void where should be the chance to weigh up the odds and balance out the probabilities in a rational way.

Many times I have seen  instances where nature in particular , has been responsible for creating problems.

Extremes happen. We should learn from history how to respond and how to best adapt to a new situation.

What is concerning is with the regimes we now have in place where the 'experts ' are in charge, the response to events is more an arse covering exercise or an over reaction in case there is a repeat episode.

There is no room for science or rational thinking to extrapolate workable solutions .Grey hair has no place in the world any longer.

Modelling will give the answer and unfortunately the wonder of AI may lead us further in to the mire.

Over the years I have noted a number of times there has been an explosion in insects or weeds or even rats.

Years ago there was a weed , willow herb , that appeared out of nowhere and invaded every nook and cranny .It was a pretty little weed   (as most plants are) but it proliferated and as fast as one sprayed with weed killer it sprang up again  and in new places.

Ahhhh. 

Over time the extent of the takeover by willow herb subsided and while it had presence it was now part of the scenery and a casual removal of plants by hand  from time to time gave some sort of sense of satisfaction. Ha.got you damn weed.

Such was the case following the flood as well   . The weed Fleabane suddenly rose up in defiance. It was everywhere and  it is an ugly weed . scraggy, unkempt tall and bushy like a gangly schoolboy struggling with school rules.

There was no beating this infection. Being such a tall weed it was hard to spray amongst all the other vegetation and it was more like a crop, in rows each motly stem supporting the next one.

I did hmmmm about this one.

Don't panic. Think of the sigmoid curve. This will  see the weed have its day in the sun and then slink off to the waste land and grotty corners where it can look after its survival again.

All that to explain how the solutions being worked on now by the highly paid are devoid of balance and millions are being spent (not theirs of course) to appease the peasants and cover their backsides.

Dollars are being spent to crush the fleabane if you like when a little time and thought would solve the issue of a brief  invasion.
