Who bears the cost?

The second boundary asks where costs finally come to rest.

Every benefit has a corresponding cost.

Costs do not disappear.

They move.

A boundary is approached when costs, risks, and losses are systematically transferred toward those least able to refuse them, while benefits remain concentrated elsewhere.

The transfer is often invisible precisely because it is distributed. No single act appears decisive, yet the cumulative direction is unmistakable.

Boundaryism does not ask only who benefits.

It asks who ultimately bears what others no longer have to.

The boundary is crossed when costs can be shifted without refusal.
