#growthobsession — Public Fediverse posts

Putin just labelled the #monetarySystem out of the #USA as a "#printingPress".

An Oof… to some.

One of our favourite books from the decade has to be '#GrowingForBroke' (2016) by the late #PeterNorth. It described how the obsession with #GDPGrowth was not only wrecking havok on #Australia's #environment and globally but also set to destroy our #economy.

We talked about it extensively, but the #growthObsession only took a breather during #COVID.

There are only two certainties in this world…

1. Death, and
2. Keynesianism is a false economy.

@rosano
These stats are false alarm. No context if even true.

#CambridgeUniversity debunked tropes like this. Also #bitcoin consumption is designed to go down post #BitcoinMaximalism, and changes based on total energy available.

Focus on where the energy is coming from, #renewables like hydro.

Anyone here against #hydroEnergy to secure an entire global finance system to replace the even-more-destructive, #growthObsession fueled by a #fiatCurrency system?

Didn't think so :)

Before the podcaster even finished complaining, uttering the words, "#GrossDomesticProduct", boom - podcast gone.

There's more to life than how many #carAccidents, #divorces and #moneyTransfers that marketing experts can extract from people.

Please take #GDP #GrowthObsession elsewhere.
