    Regulations are great, and we should have them; however, there’s a reason they don’t end up reversing the trend.

    That’s because if the capitalist enterprise doesn’t grow, it stops existing. The very reason companies exist is the premise of them getting bigger, producing ever higher profits. Otherwise, the investments don’t come, liabilities accumulate, and company dies.

    You literally can’t have one without the other, growth and profit are key drivers of capitalism. The very premise of growth is what makes these companies worthwhile for investors and owners. Without it, there is no sense in starting an enterprise in the first place.

    (Also, for the sake of clarity - it’s not me who downvotes you. Feel free to keep the discussion going, I have no issue with it)
