It is economically positive in the real economy. Our paper economies are not in tune with reality. They were made to serve people. If there are fewer people with fewer relationships and our economies value numbers over creating happy families, our metrics and economies are broken.

All that an economy should do is manage the logistics of a higher purpose. We have lost that higher purpose.
