    So, can someone tell us about an economic system that does not require unending growth?

    For extra irony, this explanation should come from one of those people who say that predicting economics is BS and that it’s too complex for anyone to understand.

    FFS y’all, this isn’t the grand revelation you think it is. I figured it out on my own at 19, before the internet existed to tell me what to think. This was about the same time that I figured out that prices will always go up, never down.

      Literally any local business in a town (if it hasn’t yet been absorbed by large, country-wide companies)

      I keep telling people SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES in your area, not the big companies

        Economies of scale let you buy shit for cheap. Much like the device you posted this on. Or did you roll your own device from scratch?
