I'd go further with : "make life easier for your clients" - business is just a side-effect

Middle Way - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

"The Middle Way" ... and 2500 years after we are still not getting it ..

beware any capitalists in a position of power in a non-profit

look to wikipedia as a poster child

• that gambling is taxed more and someone gabling their possessions away isn't gonna get someone else fired because they worked who's a subvendor for a subcomponent…

• Cooperative Banks owned by their own customers do put their interests forth, and those have to be sustainabke goals.
  • Literally part of the "Cooperatives Law" in Germany!

But you sadly are correct in general regardless…

• Plus the gigantomaniac idea if perpetual, exponential growth on a very finite Earth…

well, a lot of people make money "helping" you keep your comfortable equilibrium

but a more serious reason is that if you are at a comfortable equilbrium, you don't need that much advice; the biz just hums along

so the people who sell themselves as experts have to find someone who wants to grow the biz

Because greedy narcissists only understand 'line goes up and to the right' every 3 months or it's a financial disaster.

Every time see something labelled as 'bad for the economy'.. replace economy with 'rich wankers'

Raising minimum wage... that's bad for rich wankers

Paying doctors and nurses a decent wage, that's bad for rich wankers.

Affordable and easily accessible public transport... that's bad for rich wankers.

In mathematical terms, the solutions to differential equations tend to be oscillations or exponential change. In economics it's often both. It's very rarely a straight horizontal line.

The alternative is a directed, managed economy - but that's the evil communism, right?
