Please ignore the wild growth of grocery costs. Also I hate how “inflation is only 2% now” but the fucking eggs still cost 2x what they did 3 years ago.

Or could it be that the necessity for growth means that “costs” like keeping your workers alive become increasingly “burdensome.” Anyone notice how the economy has massively grown in every measurement in the last centuries yet it hasn’t become more stable or confident in its own sustainability?
I think growth is tapped out. Most companies have turned purely to rent seeking behavior and chasing down pennies. Eg the Netflix account sharing changes, Adobe licensing, YouTube moving to freemium model, Twitch ad spam, airline “upgrades”. This isn’t behavior you engage in unless your monopoly is tapped out.
Yup, TRPF at its finest. Everyone wants to be a pure parasite because actually doing stuff doesn’t make big bucks anymore.
