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.

Wtf are you on? It DOES mean exactly that. If laws now have no consequences, there are de facto no laws. How can anybody not see this?

Are you a bot or are you just blind? Wait for trump to go to office with this power and let's see how nobody gets victimized.

He cannot jail them, but he can disappear them a la Harry Potter and the Consequences of Unchecked Power

It looks like nobody involved in this story understands the concept of consequences. Trump can be now disappeared without repercussions. The judges that voted this could be arrested with their families and everybody they know. And Biden may be facing the same situation in a few months if he doesn't do something drastic immediately. Is somebody putting LSD in the water supplies? I don't understand how anybody on either side can think this is a good idea.

Edit: what i mean is the clock is ticking now, Trump already said what he's going to do if he goes back to office. Unfortunately now it's you or them.

He doesn't even need to do it for real, if he just announced that he's going to hang them they would backpedal immediately

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.

They won't stop. By 2025 they will reinstate the crime of heresy. Mark my words.

I feel like that's just an excuse to let hitler-like people to what the fuck they want.
