We largely couldn't in the first place, but thanks for the heads up. There was a hope, sure. But little trust due to little action.

It's a matter of degree. I felt a heck of a lot more protected than I had previously. Action? Not as much as there should have been but hardly zero.

hardly zero.

Yeah, like I said: little. It felt like they were content to do enough to get credit and then kick the can down the road until they were forced to do more. Now we enter an era that will likely strip back what progress has been made. In four years we'll be pushed back forty.
