    Honest answer. Infinite growth is the only business model we universally accept. This puts unrealistic expectations on how we define success.

    It’s not enough to own a successful diner making good cheap food for 500 people a day. Why can’t you do that for 5000 people? 50,000 people? Then in comes efficiency and questions about profit.
