Economic activity is not inimical to humanity. Not in and of itself. That's a terrible way to think of your fellow man and our relationship to nature.

Believe me, I'd love it if people cared for nature. But, people tend to choose having kids and keeping those kids out of poverty before they choose nature. And, having kids requires economic activity, unfortunately.

I didn't create the system. Someone started this ball rolling 10k years ago.

Well, having kids is kind of important. Essential even.

At the price of perpetuating bottom dollar exploitive business models that could only exist in the abscensce of strong labor protections, qnd the export of negative externalities to the greater fool.

The wotld as a whole does not benefit from this arrangement.
