>>538562216It can go up at the public's expense, but rarely does it drop without that being a negative for the public.
>>538562216is a thriving economy a good indicator of a society you want to live in if all your basic needs are easily met and with a little bit of fun time on the side?
>>538562216man i hate those fucking street trolls walking all over LA. Lighting those little fires all over the place and waylaying travelers, asking for change and all that shit. I know they're guarding some hidden treasure, but i haven't figured out where yet. Last week i found one street troll walking the streets here, so i jumped on him and tried to get the answer out of him, but all he said was "get off of me! I'm not a troll, I'm just homeless! I'll call the police". He thinks i don't know that they can shapeshift and try to trick people. But those motherfucking street trolls are resilient, he didn't give in even after like 20 minutes of me beating it up and asking for answers. Must mean the hidden treasure is really awesome, maybe it's one of those passes where you get free burgers for life or some shit like that. I wouldn't want to give that up either, but I'll get my hands on it, those street trolls just wait

>>538562216Japan is good at optics. They purposely exclude slums from their maps so you don't know they exist. For instance here is an osaka examplehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamagasaki
Obviously not. Most retarded way to measure economic health. It just measures amount of transactions, including completely fraudulent transactions like public spending
>>538563025Tokyo is a nicer place than LA because the former is populated by Japanese while the latter is 28% white, with the rest being mostly brown.
>>538562216Dollar-denominated GDP does not tell the whole story.The Japanese economy was at its worst over the past 50 years during the 1998–2003 period, yet Japan’s dollar-denominated GDP ranked second in the world at the time.Today, the Japanese economy is in excellent shape and living conditions are comfortable, but dollar-denominated GDP has fallen to fourth place.
>>538563025Kamagasaki is an exceptional place and even still it's not that bad by American standards. You're safer there than any city here
>>538563025This is Japan's worst? Scary. I'd never dare going there.
GDP is simply a tallying of all receipts. if you spend more, the gdp is higher. its retarded to use it as a good metric
Goy Domesticated Product
Do you guys love Skid Row in LA! Whatever has it ever done to any of you?
