Tunneling

As unemployment rises and austerity bites ever harder, tempers seem to fray faster than ever these days in Greece, with citizens of all stripes increasingly thumbing their noses at authority. Some refuse to pay increased highway tolls and public transport tickets, and there has been a rise in politicians being heckled _ even assaulted _ by constituents.

The anger is most palpable in Keratea, a town of about 15,000 people some 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Athens that appears to have spun completely out of control. The state's attempt to start work on a planned garbage dump on a nearby hillside in December caused locals to set fire to construction vehicles and erect massive roadblocks on a highway that bypasses the town and runs to the capital.

It's a fight that has galvanized the town, from the mayor and the local priest to shopkeepers, farmers, schoolteachers and teenagers.

Tunneling Tunneling as requantization, but it must have system wide effects.

I call this example of human tunneling, just doing a little requant. humans do it from the short end, and we requant up the long. Just like in physics, they jump a well. When viewing the Greeks as a production system, they are reorganizing the supply chains. It happens.
