Making things “transparent†has become popular in recent years. Transparent accounting, transparent processes, transparent government… it's one of those words that sneaks up on you and then all of a sudden â€" it's everywhere â€" modifying all sorts of other words.
Of course, it makes sense that there would be some sort of backlash somewhere. Â And the idea of translucent instead of transparent accounting made me laugh. Sure, you can see it, but you have to squint and it's a little out of focus.
If I'm the guy on the right in this cartoon, I think I'd be looking for another job soon.
