The world has become consumed by the idea that growth at all cost is good. It’s normalised now.

Businesses should simultaneously make record profits and lay people off to make more profits, human populations should grow grow grow, growth mindset, deregulate for growth, consume all resources for growth. It’s all about this quarters results.

Another way of looking at is uncontrolled growth is cancerous. It consumes the host, until the host dies.

@GossiTheDog Not long ago, when my grandparents lived, #business.es were still about providing value for people, in amount necessary for good living & only in that amount, not larger. Good #entrepreneurship was making some margin by the way, but mostly cultivating & passing artisanal wisdom from Master to Journeyman

It’s how a 1318 yrs old #hotel, 1220 yr old #restaurant still operate - don’t they?
