As you would expect (and hope), most are thoughtfully presented and argued like the Center for Audit Quality’s 13,803 words.

Also entertaining, FORVIS bitched about the short comment period again. It’s a fair criticism, it’s just funny they pulled “per my last email” passive aggression in a comment letter.

Alright, those are the highlights.

Nothing tops Ben’s comment though.
