>90% of our "economy" wastes resources, energy and fossil fuels to alter bank accounts.

>90% of our "economy" has nothing to do with an economy and everything to do with maintaining capitalism.

Mainstream "economists" need to be charged with mass murder.

@bullshitjobs As @pluralistic said years ago:

Rather than doing the thing we want, neoliberal economists insist we must unleash "markets" to solve the problems, by "creating incentives." That may sound like a recipe for a small state, but in practice, "creating incentives" often involves building huge bureaucracies to "keep the incentives aligned" (that is, to prevent private firms from ripping off public agencies).
