@billiam @Ghislaine I am less concerned with growth than I am quality of life. Making sure Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk get another billion dollars added to their account in no way helps me.

@WhitestTemplar @Ghislaine I think the whole point of the argument is that
1. growth causes improved standards of living
2. there's very little evidence that welfare does in the long term (and even the short term evidence is iffy).
also (not mentioned in the screenshot I posted earlier), welfare (current western version) is dysgenic (even within a 100% White society)
1. smart women: work, pay tax, and don't have kids
2. dumb women: don't work, get welfare, and have kids

@billiam @Ghislaine Okay faggot, now control for race and tell me how those calculations go.

@WhitestTemplar @Ghislaine yes, high iq countries will tend to have better growth than low iq countries.
the point is that welfare (at least how it's done in the post-war west) often comes at the expense of growth

@Ghislaine what could go wrong :insane_eagle:
> If America had 1 percentage point lower growth per quarter since 1980, it would be about as poor as Mexico is today.
