I have very high standards, but expecting public information to be public wouldn’t even be meeting those. It would be meeting one of my most basic standards.
To reject and fight FOIA requests takes _effort_, more so than simply complying with them. So no, I will not applaud shit. Our government needs to get past “basically good” before I praise them for frosting like this.
But feel free to embrace your feel good powwow approach. It’s done us so well so far.
