A loophole is a loophole whether it's expressed in obfuscated language or not.

There's a reason why the administration fired Glenn Fine on 4/7 who was the inspector that was supposed to oversee the 2T rescue plan. The administration and their cronies are doing a classical "shock doctrine" move to even further concentrate wealth while the opportunity is hot.

I get your point, but loophole has a specific meaning that implies taking advantage of an ambiguity, unexpected complexity, or oversight in drafting to reach an unintended result. This was not unintentional, and I think that's important to say.

The difference between "loophole" and "carveout" here is basically intent.

Occam's razor suggests that, of course, members of a corrupt and self-interested Federal government would intend for their allies at megacorps to have a safe landing, and they would prioritize their wellbeing over others. They look after the people who pay their bills, of course.

"The administration and their cronies are doing a classical "shock doctrine" move to even further concentrate wealth while the opportunity is hot." Agreed; buckle up folks if there's another four years to come :/
