Being at a worker coop conference got me thinking about some big problems.
Why do companies (esp big tech) keep screwing over customers and employees? Because they need to grow every year?
Why do they need this infinite growth? At a minimum, to keep up with inflation. If they made the same amount of dollars next year, that less money in real terms.
Why don't we just get rid of inflation, which also drives a lot of the consumerism we see?
And there's the rub, in a single post.
Hint: it has to do with debt...
