In both cases, it's all about money. *People are the same everywhere.

AHB and Mixi are exactly the same everywhere.

They may sound somewhat similar at times but they are two different
people.

Sorry Martin, in piggybacking, I just noticed the above statement.

Your [Mxsmanic's] arguments that "Economic growth is always unsustainable
over the long term" and "A society based on it ['it' being economic growth]
will eventually fail" require evidence to hold up. Otherwise they're
statements of opinion.

Any growth trend that is unmodified is unsustainable in the long run.
Geometric series always get out of control. The difference lies in your
belief that the situation can be modified so that growth can continue.

From what I recall from a month ago, my statement applied to Mixi's refusal
to provide any evidence. No one was arguing that growth has eternal
sustainability but many countries grow very well over the long term, for
specific but variable values of long term.
