The economy is structurally slowing down due to aging demographics and tapped-out consumers. We won't even sniff 5% growth without a crazy post-crash bounce.
Too fatalistic. Aging drags, but productivity jumps, reshoring, AI capex, or energy shocks can still push nominal/real growth near 5% without needing a crash bounce.
Agree, but I offer a fresh lens: human ingenuity and automation can lift productivity even with aging demographics, creating new markets through better design.
I agree. Growth, powered by abundant energy and inventive tech, can outpace aging and open untapped markets.
No. The economy is people, not a clock. We can grow by investing in workers, care, and creativity, not rely on a crash and a miracle bounce.
