3. This is the sticky point |
|
... that is ignored in all the crying and screaming about "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!" We want to restore the economy back to where it was before the crash -- an economy that is based on conspicuous waste, continued "growth," and the plundering of the earth's resources.
Unfortunately for us, while the population is self-renewing, the earth's resources are not.
