let them run away! they're not adding anything to your life. why have we facilitated unprecedented growth for the superrich coupled with an unprecedented downturn in public and working class wealth? these things are connected

In my lifetime, I have been witness to the extraordinary growth of information coupled with the frightening decline of applied wisdom.

FITCH: ".. Two consecutive months of stagnant to negative consumer spending growth turns on the caution signal .."

Inflation "has decidedly changed course towards 4% over the last three months. Consumer spending weakness, coupled with rising inflation .. is a mix that the Fed will dread."

Forty years of study by economists around the world come to the same conclusion: high tariffs coupled with a discretionary regime of exemptions is a growth matrix for the crudest sort of corruption.

"If governments want to boost growth, making visas for skilled workers simpler and cheaper is an obvious place to start."

UK and US growth hindered by visa policies
A study has revealed that growth is being hindered by a dearth of local talent coupled with expensive visa processes, prohibiting the hiring of overseas skills.

I'm at that age where I can wake up in the morning to find that, overnight, I've inexplicably grown a single eyebrow hair that's about two feet long.
The speed of its emergence, coupled with its defiantly contradictory angle of growth, smacks of mutiny; an act of bodily insurrection.

Of note, economic growth is no longer coupled to energy growth or emissions growth.

In over 40 countries (including the US, most of Europe, and now China), emissions are going *down* while economies and populations still grow.

‘Godfather’ @BradMoore_SIO hands off his SIMB lecture on growth-coupled biosynthesis to @LeahBushin. What a cool story! #NP2025

The basic argument goes something like this: think of population through the lens of common but differentiated responsibilities, an idea from climate world. Some countries have benefitted the most from a coupled history of population growth, economic growth, colonialism, and resource extraction.

There are uncomfortable truths that our gerontocracy cannot accept.

• Permanent growth is not sustainable.
• A dignified existence should not be coupled to ability to work.
• You cannot have an economy based on permanent precarity.
• If people cannot afford to have children, they won't.

Coupled with the architectural growth habit, the effect is completely stunning, even for a seasoned plant nerd like myself.

🌱 Plant roots as underground engineers

New X-ray research shows how roots push through hard soil by creating lasting channels, helping crops access water and nutrients in drought conditions.

Storm Isha has flattened the two very biggest, oldest birch trees in the woods.

There's always a real bittersweet feeling to such events, a combination of sorrow to see old friends laid low, coupled with excitement at the sudden change, and the way opened for dynamic new growth.

uncontrollable growth coupled with an addiction to your own sensitive flabmass... huffing and trying to resist feeling up your billowing belly before you inevitably lose the battle and get lost in experiencing the swelling, jiggling ocean of yourself, gushing into your fupa with every touch

UK desire for high spending and low taxes, coupled with an ageing population and immigration controls, may be facing a reckoning. Not obvious there could be a growth plan capable of resolving that, but even a more modest one is barely in evidence.
Statement goes on: "UK debt is the second lowest in the G7 and only the OBR’s forecast can accurately predict how much headroom the government has - anything else is pure speculation"...and says Reeves is going to leave "no stone unturned in her determination to deliver economic growth".

imagine if we coupled that with the totally free growth that comes from immigration and buddy, we’ve got a stew going

Also, economic growth ≠ energy usage growth - the two are less tightly coupled in rich economies today than they were even a couple decades ago.
