I disagree. This is all the system working as expected. There is no such thing as infinite growth and yet we are conditioned to always need it or else it's a failure.

We are on an ever accelerated race to the bottom.

The definition of success is woefully broken.

I feel like this trend was outlined in economic theories over 100 years ago.

The system may be failing, but "infinite growth" is the natural result of inflation which is intentionally targeted to a positive number.

If you think your salary should keep up with inflation, then you too need infinite growth.
