Advanced economies are exercises in futility,
their vaunted productivity being a temporary progress
plus a promise, both of which are being negated by misuse of resources, inflation, delusory social accounting, heavy costs that counteract progress, and disdain priorities.

paid out and paid back throughout life
until death casts the balance forgiven.
