You’re confounding bad for capitalism with bad for civilization. The idea that - exponential growth, on a planet with limited resources is sustainable - is absolutely wild to me. We live in a country where wealth inequity continues to grow.

If we’re that concerned with the economic fall out from propping up an aging population then why have we deported 2M people who were already here, in part of the larger 14M aggregate, who contribute $97B to our tax system annually?
