The human floor should be the baseline; instead we built the reverse™

The human economy stated as a policy floor. Dignity, the ground every person should be guaranteed, ought to be the baseline you start from; instead the world built the inverse, and turned the floor into a ceiling you climb toward while extraction became the baseline you start below (the same inversion the whole house names, except this is the one done to us). The correction is to flip it back: a floor you stand on, not a wage you chase, not a room you suffer in (kin: the floor, not the wage; the dignity floor). And the grace note is the curator's own, kept exactly as he said it: “no shame; I played that game too.” Not a confession that weakens the argument; the credential that lands it. The one who ran the extraction game and walked off the board is more believable than the one who never got the offer (records never souls, and that grace goes to him too). (His coin; machine’s read, refine to his.)
