There have been people in the past who noticed the cycle and came up with methods at stopping the cycle.
Best case is you catch the rock, and put it down gently so it doesn't break, but rock will go down.
Covid could have been prevented by mechanisms that Trump removed. The US inexplicably kept juicing the economy with zero interest rates through the end of Obama and all of Trump. 2008 could have been prevented by depression-era regulations that were removed due to heavy lobbying and traceable payments to (bipartisan) politicians. Whatever bubbles pop next (crypto seems likely to be one of them) will probably have been fueled by that same deregulation.
People inherently will try to put things to their benefit and to what incentives them. It takes a lot of structure to make the cost benefit of the incentives to outweigh the perceived benefits. It starts with something relatively good, but slightly pushed and snowballs from there. "I got stuff done that fed all these people! Surely making sure i get a little extra food is fair.....". Maybe someone notices and say "thats not fair", then why would the person go through a bunch of effort to make sure everyone is fed again and not just themselves? Altruism?
Every social structure ever created to stop this has failed in Human history, its reasonable to say every one that will ever get created will. They will be exposed to powerful forces of erosion and entropy. Maybe you can get a machine system that rules over humans that has different incentives or something, but any system that seeks to curb corruption will fall sooner or later. You can try to make in the system a desire to repair itself, but that in itself becomes an incentive and then we see purges.
You can build a tower to keep your rock up and defy gravity, but that tower WILL fall one day.
Can you prove that the business cycle is inevitable? Why would an analogy prove anything?
I also literally said that there have been methods used to stop the business cycle. And yes these methods have been successful at completely impeding it... but at great cost. It's called communism.
So literally I've proved the statement wrong by showing the existence of a counter example. The proof hints at the possibility that there are other systems besides capitalism or communism that are undiscovered or not created yet that could impede the business cycle without the associated cost. Others could say that communism as defined by the manifesto was never really implemented or that the current examples of communism failed for different reasons OTHER then communism.
Either way, the cycle being inevitable is categorically false.
"We're not actually in a recession." So what?! Just acknowledge things aren't good and get to fixing them, be honest with the public and have some bloody integrity for once.
The US (and UK, and Australia, etc) partisan political playground fighting is ridiculous and the media (inc. social media) spends far too much time supporting it.
More people are working and can buy less. This is not a good thing.
Lets talk about what we can do to improve things.
The cost in trust is very high, and the gain so small.
Because conservative media is feeding people the talking point, and they are aren't really applying too much critical thought to the matter.
protip: everyone can perceive which ways the parties are different, when people refer to both sides they are referring to the ways they are the same, not the ways they are different
