Analysis and argument from the InfoHandle newsroom—our take on the stories behind the headlines.
We should force banks to print revolving APR footnotes beside minimum-payment lines on every e-statement, because September FSC complaint data shows cardholders still treat the minimum as a plan rather than a debt accelerator.
We should require live diesel tank levels for flood pumps on county disaster dashboards before the next typhoon bond drawdown, because blackouts during September rains left crews guessing which stations could still lift water.
We should require scanned ingredient QR menus in every public school cafeteria before the next vendor rebid cycle, so parents and auditors see batch codes—not just brochure photos—when suppliers change.
We should not approve another typhoon-season drainage bond tranche until municipal councils can read project-level ledger rows online, not just aggregate debt slides in budget hearings.
We should require broker WhatsApp and Line archives in securities audit trails—not because chat is evil, but because marketing decks are not evidence when the FSC investigates grey-market tips.
We should treat Mid-Autumn weekend outages as a maintenance backlog problem at Taipower, not bad luck—holiday travel peaks expose transformers that should have been swapped in spring.
