HiveGeist - #Austerity

Four serious-looking workers—one in medical scrubs, one in a construction vest and hardhat, one in casual clothes with glasses, and one in a hoodie with a cap—sit at a table with clipboards and paperwork in front of them. Behind them a large poster reads “UNITED STATES SAFETY AUDIT IN PROGRESS,” and another says “EFFICIENCY SAVES LIVES.” Their expressions are tense and weary, as if documenting systemic failures. The scene resembles an inspection meeting but evokes the mood of a nation being audited for its human costs.
