"Shuffling the deckchairs on the titanic" comes to mind, but it isn't really a term.
- IsaacL 16y agoI've heard that phrase a few times before, but I don't think it fits the context here. The context is a "solution" that creates more problems than it solves. "Shuffling the deckchairs/polishing the silverware on the Titanic" refers to busying oneself with small problems when there's a honking great problem that's being ignored.
