Others who aren't close to your situation will be making decisions that bear on your life. Sure, now and then they may hit the mark. And if they want your support in elections, they may make use of your wish list and deliver to you what you want. But this will be at the expense of others who must pay for it by having legally to comply with extensive regulations, price supports, protectionism, taxes, and so forth. Imagination One problem is that we can always imagine perfect solutions.
Imagination works well in art, where the objective is to sketch a vision, a happy ending.
And soon that artist's rendition will be filled in with a great deal that is quite good but also not quite what the imagination constructed. We can also imagine an economy that lacks any poverty at all. Loosely, yes, we can imagine it. But in reality this image is a falsehood. It does not figure in the millions who may not want to work at the job that, under the realities of the economy, is best for them.
