Infinite growth is unsustainable. How long before it collapses?

The next recession when they'll get bailed out by the government (yet again) and start the same process over again.

Privatize the gains, socialize the losses

Oh wait but it's wrong when the people get government support, that's socialism!

Or the environment collapses, whichever happens first.

When we realize that part of the solution is to kill the culprits.

There is plenty of historical precedent...
