The economy is a giant Ponzi scheme built on extraction of free (yet limited) energy and resources from Earth, use of those to create "stuff" we can use to fill up our underutilized landfills, plus a seemingly infinite number of initiatives to increase demand for that which we do not need, and which will require more humans and free energy to satisfy. Repeat until keypressed, or until resource depletion.
P.s.: don't tell my kids!
