Related: Robert Reich posted earlier today that Tesla paid ZERO taxes on $5 billion in sales (earnings?), so that’s just fucking great.

    economic growth isn’t necessarily material growth.

    there is no material limit on how much code I can write. or the books i can sell digitally.

    the economy can grow with less resource use, and really it has compared to history. agriculture is far less resource intensive than it used to be due to improvements and far more economically productive.

    that’s what progress is and why productivity continues to skyrocket. we can do way more with far less.
