What an obvious(ly dumb) headline. Muse put it best with: "endless growth is unsustainable" https://youtu.be/EF_xdvn52As

I saw a TMobile ad the other night offering 4 "free" iPhones and I'm like... "WTF do I need 3 extra phones for? Just give me a fair deal on ONE phone."
T Mobile is fucking insane too. Their prices for unlimited plans are just crazy. Easily $100 a month for a family plan
Not that I’m sticking up for T-mo, but how is that crazy? I have a grandfathered plan with discounts and it was $100 a month (taxes & fees included) for 2 people years ago, and it was the cheapest of the major carriers.
Go to an MVNO, and you can get unlimited data for $25 or so.
MVNO is great for single people but the carriers hold their weight in priority data and multiple devices
At some point the growth can only follow fertility rates from 10-15 years before.
Yeah, and due to the falling replacement rate the world population itself is starting to level off and may even start to decline. That's why conservative political parties are all doing everything they can to force people into having children, because large corporations can only exist with a large and ever growing customer base.
If companies want more saturation they can always advocate for government policies that lift people out of poverty.
but that would make a less malleable population that is harder to contain and control
Actually if you give people bread and circus, they are easy to control too. And we have plenty of circus, so...
Or – outlaw porn and birth-control and hope the birth rate goes up.
That just makes more poor people who can't afford things.
just as these greedy cucks want
