> Consumer sentiment doesn’t exactly line up with a roaring 20s mentality because people hate inflation and higher interest rates. But you have to watch what people do, not what they say.

> People are spending money on food, travel, clothes and technology.

Slaves don't have a choice but to spend their fiat money in a low interest rate world whose present condition of low interest rates exists only because this is the last exercise rep the government can push out before reality and nature come in to remove all the artificial economics implementations. In simple words, real capitalism has not yet been tried and a great reset away from stupidity and liberal-democratic welfare is coming.

Malthus wins in the end, no matter how much you try to delay the inevitable.

Malthus never factored ephemeralization into his calculations. We can produce more with less than ever before. Buckminister Fuller addresses this head on in his magnum opus "Critical Path"

> Buckminister Fuller addresses this ... in ... "Critical Path"

Wow, OG Solarpunk?

The ephemeral nature of the Tweet is nothing compared to the harsh fact that the highly efficient means of production (your producing more stuff with less resources) is in the hands of a segment of the population that wants to segregate itself away from the segment that has nothing but common men in it. So, every time someone tries to rebuke the Malthusian overpopulation condition, it's just a kidnapped person falling in love with his kidnapper. Or neo-feudal serfs trying to lick the boots of their assigned king in hopes of pleasing this would-be benefactor which lords over the mostly hopeless dwarf.

Buckminister Fuller is the one with improper calculations. His libertarian's model for addressing effective capitalism (with the goal of central planning for a secessionary, yet still vassal, state) relies on old and obsolete conceptual tools, namely history itself. All geopolitical problems is a scam with at the top of that pyramid scheme suit wearing bureaucrats who are the characters from the 1984 dystopia, with no differences between them. You're kinda blind to your oppression and the totalitarian regime you're running under.

Fair points, no doubt.
