That's capitalism baybe. The expectation of infinite growth in a finite system based around the infinite sales of infinite products that have a price because they say they are finite.
That's why people want to go to mars btw. Some people are economists/adventurers and can't stand still. Doing business on Earth however starts to be more and more damaging as we're exhausting the possibilities of healthy growth. That's why it's better to cease economic growth on earth and instead focus the "line must go up (at any cost)" people on Mars. Just my two cents from the ecological perspective.

We also dont have enough water, living on a enormous water planet. :)
Why so salty.
People put electrolytes in their water and nobody batts an eye, but when I drink seawater everybody loses their mind

Brings to mind the barbecue speech
How many men ever went to a barbecue and would let one man take off the table what's intended for 9/10ths of the people to eat. The only way you'll ever be able to feed the balance of the people is to make that man come back and bring back some of that grub he ain't got no business with.
man this man that. If I lived in the time people were all referred to as men I would probably go crazy and blow up the world.

There's a house on my way to work that's vacant. I saw an ambulance there about two years ago; I'm betting that the owner died, because it's now entirely overgrown, with weeds and grass completely overtaking the yard and driveway.
How many of the 'empty houses' are places that were abandoned and are in such disrepair that they're not safe for habitation, and how many of them are places that are second houses and/or bank-owned rentals?
For reference, the house I live in right now was repo'd around 2010, and my partner and I bought it in 2018; it had been vacant for almost a decade, and required a lot of work, almost as much as it cost, to get it safe. And it still needs work; I need to shore up the floor that's sagging, and the exterior walls need to be opened up from the inside and be fully sealed b/c I can feel breezes inside when it's windy outside.

I agree.
Economic growth on Earth is coming to an end, and it's important to recognize it and deal with it properly. It doesn't make sense to scare people into work by telling them "otherwise we don't produce enough". We do. Whether people work 60 hours a week or 20 hours. We should just recognize what we really need. Which is the right to self-determination.
