maximizing growth/metastasis/GDP isn’t healthy as society’s sole practiced value and pursuit.
One of their greatest achievements was brainwashing the country into believing that somehow higher higher higher GDP somehow means a better economy for everyone when it’s literally just tracking business profits…
They’re perfectly ok with the idea that our income doesn’t need to increase at all, but their profit MUST increase at all costs…
Because in the past they thought they had to care about the law, they know now that they don’t need to do anything other than what the owning class wants, but they must drop the large bombs like this one on a Friday and preferably after another event that will keep the media occupied like say a debate? That way there is as little pushback and attention to it as possible…
