I keep saying this in real life: the point of economies and companies is to serve people. We have absolutely lost sight of why we have these things.

Economies don't serve anything. The economy is the way we measure productivity. People really must stop thinking of it like some kind of mysterious beast from another dimension that we must tame into subservience

> Economies don't serve anything.

Oh really? Considering that an economy is a system of consumption and distribution of goods and services, how exactly do you arrive at the conclusion that consuming and distributing goods and services don't serve anything?

> The economy is the way we measure productivity.

Wrong. The economy is a system of exchange and consumption of resources. Productivity is a secondary attribute and a side-effect, and one that is secondary to the whole reason of having an economy.

I would refrain from judging other people on their ignorance if you show so little understanding of the subjects you're discussing.

If you live in any kind of city then your everyday life is made possible by economies running to feed every single person on a given day. You should realise that.
