NYT op-ed: 'Democracy dies in H.R.' — but article body is unavailable

The submission points to a New York Times opinion piece headlined ‘Actually, democracy dies in H.R.,’ surfaced on Hacker News. The headline riffs on the Washington Post’s ‘Democracy dies in darkness’ slogan and appears to argue that bureaucratic human-resources processes, rather than overt censorship or authoritarianism, are the more immediate threat to democratic institutions.

No article body was provided beyond the title, so the specific argument, examples, and evidence the author marshals cannot be summarized responsibly. The piece is filed under the NYT ‘world/americas’ section, suggesting the framing is regional rather than U.S.-specific, but that is the only contextual signal available.

Readers interested in the substance should consult the original at nytimes.com. Without the text, any further summary would be invention rather than reporting.
