I don't see aversion to growth. I see aversion to filling to pockets of the top 0.1% at the expense of the bottom 90%.

A rising tide raising all ships sounds great and all, until you notice the tide seems to only be rising on one side.



I see people who are comfortable and prioritize their needs, and ignore those with less, as if they don't matter and don't affect them. They cover up this disdain for those with less by trying to focus on the 0.1%, but stopping that apartment building doesn't stop the 0.1% from making money, they just invest in something else, so any concern about trying to stop the 0.1% is clearly fake.
