Economics is a pseudoscience - they have 'laws' which aren't laws, there is no way of proving anything, the only hard and fast truths are things that have already happened.
They predict continuous market growth because that's what has come before - world population increases, ergo market increases.
But new resources are not really being discovered any more, and population increase is slowing.

So, yeah, won't be replacing my Xbone with a newer-generation Microsoft console.
Ex of Twitter (and many others before that) by way of mastodon.social (same user ID across a lot of platforms). Moved here because I like the ability to format posts and, sometimes, I need more than 500 characters ...plus there had been rumblings about mastodon.social getting widely defederated.

@Daojoan It would be nice if there were examples of what honest discussion of economic states should look like. including life cycles of a product, saturation points and decline. Growth to maturity of services to a plateau or replacement. Why not offer an alternative to the current investor directed bullshit and just the natural state of an economic situation

British geek living in #Singapore.
Hates fascists.

Have always loved music, but went down the slippery slope of collecting #vinyl. Favorite artists include #Bowie and #DM.
Producing electronic music under the name Delimited (see my links)
