Your original point was that the pie doesn’t need to keep expanding, so you have been disproved I would say. Saying that the economy need to keep expanding is the same as saying the economy is based on infinite growth. If it stops expanding the stocks are not profitable anymore and the shareholders are going to vote to replace CEOs, so the CEOs have an incentive to make he companies grow at any cost.
Woah thank you so much for taking the time. I really struggle to understand this people. This does make sense.
The modern take on stock investment is to not give dividends, so the only way for shareholders to make money is to have the company grow indefinitely.
Obviously a capitalist won’t tell you that. My economy professor kept insisting that efficiency is always positive because it only concerns making a bigger cake, so there is more cake to be divided among the people involved, which he called surplus. In reality greater efficiency has a cost, and the cost is paid by people, while other people pockets the surplus. Fuck capitalists.
Wow, i would like you to describe more in detail what these people think, your depiction so far is very clear
I feel like that’s just an excuse to let hitler-like people to what the fuck they want.
As if they ever cared about children
We need to have a law against using AI in enforcing the law.
Came here to say this. As much as I don’t like china, there is really nothing to see (apart from the source, that’s for everybody to see).

A big step in the right direction
Economic freedom in this example is pure nonsense. I don’t want the freedom to overpay for something. The price point is also completely unreasonable. There are alternatives that could be implemented, like setting limits. Your example has a clear goal of promoting a certain world view that the existence of slavery is what makes us free. If that’s not a paradox a don’t know what a paradox is.
Not really. I can undersgand licensing but at this point it’s become a distopian practice completely separated from the basic need to monetize the content an make a profit. That’s why those companies become such gargantuans monsters.
To be fairer nobody asked them to produce content. They decided to create it because it’s cheaper that licensing the actual good stuff.
But it’s very interesting to think where we would be technologically and socially if humans weren’t such assholes
I don’t get what you people have against vaccines. They saved millions of lives over the years and the causation is clear beyond any doubt.
