Debt transparency is essential for:

✅ Democratic governance
✅ Sound economic management
✅ Properly functioning financial markets

#PublicDebtIsPublic is shifting debt information norms to establish meaningful public access to the legal and financial terms of public debt.

some instagram account has posted a screenshot of dan's post that says "My wife and I never talk baby talk to our kid. We enforce academic seminar norms and jargon. My child isnt even 2 yet and can interrupt presenters on the first slide. Adults at family gatherings are shocked when my child asks a questino that turns out to be more of a comment." it has THIRTY SIX THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIVE LIKES

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.
