>keep paying your employees once you saturate your market.

employees? they get fired once the market is saturated and demand flattens. ITYM shareholders.

When you look at it from that angle, another possible solution is:

But that would mean a steady state profit margin (and not a cancerously growing one), so it will never fly.
