We could,
some say,
build a society that pays everyone “enough”
in the model of endless growth.
The problem is that the model is a lie. 1
Because then the bubble pops
or the virus rolls through
and the scam is revealed…
While others worry.
about the effects on
their industry
which they modeled on endless growth.
- Of all the potential sources for the assertion, today, I pick Buddhism.
- Social supports having been converted to “growth industries” and non-transactional care focused in the smallest units – self or nuclear family.
- And it’s hard to pull your boot up when another one is pressing down on your throat.
