I'm sometimes afraid of these "mega-corps" that have the effect of really changing things. Sometimes in a bad way. Sadly, once you've got money, you can earn much more. What the limit to t->infinity ? One single corp dominating the world ?
- cblconfederate 5y agoIsn't that the problem in game economies as well? Making virtual money begets making more virtual money leading to exponential growths. Some games solve it by making items more expensive for hoarders. In real life we pretend that growth inequality does not exist.

Eg, Once a single corporation is in control of everything, and everything that comes in is profit and everything that goes out is a loss then the only missive left is to cut all losses, no? How do we do that? Burn the planet? Can't lose if there's nothing to lose.
