There's a ton of information about every agency out there, but people don't read about them. One of the benefits of government is that it allows people to ignore all the details that make modern life possible.

On the tech stack, it's like claiming that everyone should understand assembly. It's useful for some folks to know assembly, but the vast majority of folks don't care. They just want to use the stuff that's built upon it.

Why anyone would think we're going to get more transparency this time around is beyond me.
