If it were feasible to charge you for your own heartbeats, companies absolutely would. Infinite growth is a poison pill idea - it brought us to where we are today, and would drag us to the future you outlined, unless the folly is abandoned.

Nothing wrong with growth,it's natural. The population grows and so does the money supply in turn. This is good. What is not good is when a particular company is trying to retain ALL growth of certain segments for themselves through abusive leverage.

A principle that stuck out to me as a child was that our society prioritized lower prices for consumers as a whole over the prosperity of any one company or industry.

We let companies grow to the point where they now subvert the will of the people.

Growth is good until it's not, cancer would like a word.

The only thing that seems capable of growing forever is the amount of space in the universe. Line go up increasingly fast always forever is a bullshit fever dream that needs to be culled with prejudice.
