In fact I would say, this final nail, will forever enable the crocked to deceive the public. And scams will no longer be exposed and instead hidden from the public eye. Unexposed scams festering into full blown corruption and crime. Scams won't be exposed, even the scam of binding independent agencies will be hidden. By waiting until the final nail is driven into the coffin, it is too late. In fact that is the meaning of this wise but sad saying.

I agree with this statement, but I disagree with your conclusion.

In fact I would say, this final nail, will forever enable the crocked to deceive the public. And scams will no longer be exposed and instead hidden from the public eye. Unexposed scams festering into full blown corruption and crime. Scams won’t be exposed, even the scam of binding independent agencies will be hidden.

By waiting until the final nail is driven into the coffin, it is too late. In fact that is the meaning of this wise but sad saying.

Hello wakeup everyone, or wish you were dead.
