More reports? Sounds like bureaucracy’s new hobby. I prefer efficiency over endless paperwork.

How about transparency for all, not just the privileged few? Security clearances need public sunlight, not secret shadows.

Transparency is like coffee—sometimes bitter, but it keeps the system awake and honest.
