    But, perhaps, we need to guarantee everyone the right to the basic requirements of life? Then we don’t have to make sure billionaires get more billions, just so they can try to survive the hellscape we have created?

    Sure. But that is outside of the scope of your original take and in no way validates it.

        Yes, every time you move the goalposts, you change the scope.

        But sure, I’ll bite, again.

        What does infinite growth have to do with deflation? You don’t have to have one or the other. You can also just have stagnation, which is arguably more sustainable than the unemployment caused by deflation.
