Yes let's let government surveillance outfits design protocols. I mean who ever though this would ever be a good idea? They will 100% of the time fail at this task.

Did they actually think that growth would happen forever, that it was infinite. Time to switch to non-growth economic models and assume that the markets have reached equilibrium.
