the capitalists are unable to understand that the “eternal growth” their books mention is not feasible in real world and in fact it is a bug. There are physical upper limits that cannot be overcome. There will not be unlimited people that will always enrol in a new subscription. They need to somehow understand that at some point a company may reach their ceiling. This is not reason to do whatever panic change in order to show growth in the numbers. It will just not happen.

It’s mathematically possible to have infinite growth as long as it’s in nominal terms and you have infinite inflation!
(Joke aside, ponder on why central banks have a positive non-zero inflation target…)
