It's trying to appeal to people that aren't doing well financially by saying, "If we could cut down more trees, mine for more coal, drill for more oil, and killing more animals, your life would be better." There's a limited amount of resources, especially the non renewable type like oil and coal. There's an increase on demand as the population explodes. Regulations are a necessary thing. If I wanted THE WORLD to fail, I'd let these industries run unchecked. I like the cheap attempt to play at our humanity by mentioning Steve Jobs, too. Cute. |
And that is actually right! it would sustain a system that depends on a constantly growning economy for a bit longer.
the problem is it would only make it worse when it eventually breaks down as it has to at one point.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
