Why is growth tied to continued existence?

[-] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 42 points 9 months ago

Because companies insist on it and when growth stops they'll start to cannibalize their own company and charge more money for things that used to be free or fairly-priced until they price themselves out of the market entirely and die as a service.

Yay, capitalism!

Capitalism demands that number must go up.

Rather human psyche wants that, it's scary to invest. There are still rare mom&pop stores\cafes which make sense economically for their owners. And there are individual artists.

What is visible now is a bit like colonial companies, it will end, until the next such thing.

"Capitalism" is a very variable thing.
