The whole "infinite growth" thing is stupid.

Why do investors invest? Because they expect growth to be possible. Because their resources can be used to make more resources in the future. In a hypothetical future where that stops being a possibility you'd just see smaller and smaller returns on investments. Of course investors want the line to go up, because otherwise why would a firm accept investment, unless it was straight up scamming them?

But this doesn't mean that everyone in the system believes line can go up forever, just that the line will go up enough to justify their investment.

If workers don’t need to worry about invested profits, this isn’t an issue.
