You're going to have to get with the times. Everything has to make money or it's scrapped including us.
Amen, brother.
I love that so much I might have to steal it
As did I, brother.
Edit - I don't know why I keep calling you brother.
I just need to know if it's '80s wrestler, clergyman, or motorcycle club, I don't really mind in any case I just need to know what voice to read it in....
Hmm of those choices I'm going with motorcycle club. It's the closest for sure.
I can probably pull off 80s wrestler in a pinch.
I'm no economist but at some point doesn't that fall apart? If everything needs to be generating then aren't we creating a vacuum at the bottom or whatever? Money has to come in and go out equally in the end, no?
It does, and that's manifested in increasing labour requirements, and consumer spending.
The US solves it by using slaves and debt.
Huh...
Maybe if we just don't think about that, things will turn out perfectly fine.
The model has to change once you reach the vacuum state. Usually via violent implosion.
