They won’t go out of business… they just won’t double revenue year over year. God forbid your business doesn’t grow. We need endless growth! Unlimited growth, even in a finite world.
That’s what kills me about capitalism. Everything has to be about growth. Nothing can ever be “good enough” or “sustainable”, it must always be improving at a dramatic rate to make those shareholders happy.
The economy is still in a slump and companies are still laying off people left and right, but at least the money they’re taking away from the incomes of dedicated workers are helping shareholders profit.
