I see that a bit differently, there's a line between letting the issues build up and correcting them while maintaining a business. I don't think not tackling issues and sitting still are the same thing, for instance, you can be working somewhere that is growing very rapidly without the resources already in place to adequately tackle some of the problems it faces.

That kind of thinking is weird to me. It treats the world as an infinite resource, where we are very much a finite commodity. At some point diminishing returns will force the issue of sustaining, pending something like quantum computing becoming a reality. Which given the proper timespan there will be something that pushes us in a new direction of "growth", I have no doubt about that.
