They require the same "economic" power to uplift out of poverty,
its not as if 2 of those 3 were tiny, but strategically placed ports vs china, with a literal continent's worth of people

Neolibs are dumbasses, that's all. They see a graph and lines and shit and assume it says something to endorse them. Also at one point a solid chunk of the people there believed that GDP is the sum of all wealth in existence (I desperately wish I could still find that old reddit thread to mock those dipshits), which is funny because they don't know the meaning of the things the prioritize.
Doesn't even know how to read the evidence
GDP is such a shit measurement. It makes sense that neolibs love it, because if you privatize something that raises the GDP since people will inevitably have to pay more. The US health system is amazing from a GDP standpoint, even if it is horribly inefficient.
A car crash raises GDP because it means extra ambulance trips and hospital stays.
9/11 was amazing for GDP! The tech bubble had just burst, and a major recession was looming. The economy was safe until 2008!
Osama Bin Laden saved The Line. :amerikkka-clap: :stonks-up:
I love talking about this. The private healthcare industry is 20% of America’s GDP lol
Neoliberal thought:
Have a position/argument that you favor
Fuck around with data and invent a graph that "proves" your argument
Repeatedly point at the graph
before or after the irony there was poisoned?
I'm not sure, I wanna say it was 2018 or later, specifically it was in response to something Bernie wanted to do with healthcare or something, and they were trying to make the case that it would cost more than there was money on earth/ money in the US because it would cost more than the global/ or US GDP or something, which they thought was the sum of all money.
def poisoned then. lol what fucking rubes
Wait, i thought neoliberals didn't care about GDP? Aren't people who care about that Keynesian?
