Our investment-driven economy rewards growth so heavily it’s just completely skewed our idea of what “success” looks like. I’m talking about the enshittification cycle (middle player capturing both sides of a market and then squeezing them dry), yes, but not only that. I’m talking nothing counting as success except •growth• and •extraction•.
Sustainability? Just being a lovely restaurant for 20+ years? Bah! What about taking it to the next level? Where’s the ROI??
