Really depends how you measure the economy. Gross national happiness seems like better way to judge the health of an economy than GDP, which has little bearing on the state of most people's lives.

Humans make all this shit up, line goes up is a completely valid retort to how the economy is being mismanaged, because it is what is seemingly most important regardless of the quality of people's lives.

Saying if the line didn't go up, people's live would be worse is true, but only because of who we are letting rule the playground, i.e. if they don't have all the toys then nobody is getting anything.

Money talks, that's why unions are so demonised

Indeed, trickle down environmental improvements will come guided by the invisible hand of the market.

And you're completely right, food supply should be protected. Maybe programmes to plant wild vegetation such as well suited local produce everywhere instead of bare concrete and wasteland could help, not only food supply but also the environment.

But then that would effect farming profitability, so that of course is too idealistic and not viable... I wish I was as clever as you.

Cool! This seems like an good write up on it

https://atoonk.medium.com/tcp-bbr-exploring-tcp-congestion-control-84c9c11dc3a9

Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR) is a TCP congestion control algorithm developed at Google in 2016. Up until recently, the Internet has primarily used loss-based congestion control, relying only on indications of lost packets as the signal to slow down the sending rate. This worked decently well, but the networks have changed. We have much more bandwidth than ever before; The Internet is generally more reliable now, and we see new things such as bufferbloat that impact latency. BBR tackles this with a ground-up rewrite of congestion control, and it uses latency, instead of lost packets as a primary factor to determine the sending rate.

People who use the term grownup in this context are ironically the most insufferable entitled brats. Just another case of scumbags projecting their own flaws.

Yep, a planned economy is the way to go and more than doable. But so many people are jealous spiteful dimwits. So essentially, we're fucked.
