Saw this retweeted:
in modern capitalism, a business that merely brings in a steady profit is considered a failure, success is defined by continual unchecked growth
in biology, we have a word for continual unchecked growth: cancer

This is an amusing analogy, but it breaks down because it’s not “modern capitalism” that defines a business’s success, it’s the modern investors, who vote with their dollars on a daily or hourly or even minute-by-minute basis.
