    So these are resolved by:

    Increase taxes for the rich people.

    Stop demanding infinite growth out of economy, so that stopping that growth isn’t labeled “collapse”

      I upvoted and agree with you, but how do you stop demanding infinite growth out of the economy? Do you go after the shareholders and taxing the rich a lot more would fix that? Serious questions.

        Well, yes. The shareholders are the ones demanding growth and profits that don’t go anywhere beyond their pockets. Tax the rich, and remove the incentive to profit infinitely.
