    Honest answer. Infinite growth is the only business model we universally accept. This puts unrealistic expectations on how we define success.

    It’s not enough to own a successful diner making good cheap food for 500 people a day. Why can’t you do that for 5000 people? 50,000 people? Then in comes efficiency and questions about profit. Meanwhile your Zadie who started the restaurant 60 years ago is long dead and so is the simple life he envisioned for his kids.
