New economy

RE: New economy
Heres some napkin math to demonstrate - using human numbers. A brutally efficient method of raising grain allows one person to farm 1/4 acre (roughly 100ftx100ft)and support 4 people on that tiny acreage. That's 3 in excess, but one is his child and one is his parent at any given time, again, to remain level (or one is his young self one is his current self and one is his geriatric self) - so the margin of excess is 1/4 of 1/4 an acre per productive person with hand tools. That's why it commonly took two parents to raise enough grain for two kids...for ten thousand years.........

Understanding this, you might see why prosperity and growth go hand in hand.

You'd have to grow alot more non people than there are people to feed non people to people (and we already do).  Growth as a necessity strikes again.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
