The GDP bullshit:
>US
>earn 40k per year; barely a dime after expenses
>can't afford house because it costs $300 000 (this massively increases GDP)
>China
>earn 10k per year
>70% of millennial men own a house (somehow this means low wealth in GDP)
>US
>obliged to buy a car otherwise you literally can't even eat food (increases GDP because it forces you to hoard a bare minimum of capital)
>China
>you have a grocery store next to your condo because there are no zoning laws because they own their cities and don't have to create North Korean zoning laws to keep brown people away (lowers GDP because you can live life with less expenses)
