There was a (((conference))) in 1944 called the Bretton Woods Conference. This is when the World Bank was created. At this conference (((global bankers))) decided that a country's worth would be based on national GDP instead of individual GPD (personal net worth/living standards), which is the dumbest metric to use. For example, India has a high national GDP, but the lowest individual GDP per person in the world. The same with China.

So, every western country since this point has been trying to increase their GDP at the expense of individual GDP. In fact, there is an inverse relationship between increasing national GDP and quality of life in the west. The GDP of America today is significantly higher than it was in the 50's, but living standards have plummeted.

So, western governments are just printing money and flooding their countries with people who they know will live of of welfare but if it moves the national GDP number up even a point they are happy.

We don't need a single immigrant in the west. A low birth rate is eugenic. AI and automation are about to replace most jobs anyway. But western economies are so entrenched in this system that they have to feed into it or it will collapse like any other Ponzi scheme.

Switching a country's worth metric back to individual GDP should be the goal! Then governments would be forced to care about their population. Their performance is tied to increasing living standards. This is something the right and left should be able to find common ground on.

Somehow, I think the general populace will be more receptive to being told that they're now worth more than telling them that their mere existence is non-eugenic.

XRP is Bretton Woods 2.0. It's been obvious since 2018, but I know most of you poltards are a bit slow in this department.

Yes the 1944 Bretton Woods conference set up the entire post-World War II global order.
We are today 2025 coming to the end of that order with the collapse of the global debt (bond) market.

Thanks to every country after the 1960s being dependent on debt note fiat currency issued from private central banks, it's a worldwide Debt-Based Economic Model.
Debt outstrips all spending and production, globally. There isn't any 'GDP' it's all Debt.
