@sickburnbro Literal nigger-tier thinking.

@Jens_Rasmussen @Dr_Enwurd_Nigma @TrevorGoodchild there are subsidies yes, but I don't think GDP-wise it would somehow make it grow for 0.6% to like 5%, so it's not relevant. When you look at GDP it was ~$25 Trillion. so 0.6% is 150 billion. I could believe the subsidizes for food might add 50 billion in value, but then that takes it to what? 0.8% of GDP?

@sickburnbro @Jens_Rasmussen @Dr_Enwurd_Nigma GDP is a meaningless metric in a nation that has the exorbitant privilege of printing the world's reserve fiat currency (for now)
-
@Dr_Enwurd_Nigma @TrevorGoodchild it shows a lack of critical thinking that GDP doesn't measure criticalness of a product.
They literally think "if something is important, it will be expensive!"
-
Isn't food production generally quite subsidized in the west, meaning that it is intentionally cheap?
