@dan613 @kawentzmann @gerrymcgovern ~shrug~ You already said that. Just testing to see if you'd say anything new.

The accidental degrowth of a recession is not the same thing as planned degrowth. Fewer hours worked, per capita? Of course! That's a feature, not a bug.

Fewer jobs? Questionable, depends on how you define "job" but certainly there will be no shortage of tasks to be completed. Rebuilding cities after they get destroyed by an unprecedented fire hurricane, for example. In any case part of the point is to decouple having a job from surviving. That's how you decouple poverty from "lack of GDP growth".
