Hmm not sure how you could take away such a poor interpratiaton of my comment. I’m actually having a great day and one of the best years of my life.
At the time of my comment, very early in the submission, all of the other comments were drawing false conclusions about what is being presented. GDP comparisons tell you nothing about the lives of the people living in those two areas being compared. My original comment was meant to point that out to an audience that may not have spent much time studying economics.
- dpark 8y agoMaybe because you made reference to living in a "roach infested box in California" not just once but twice. If your goal was just to educate people about the shortcomings of GDP as a measure of living standard, the social commentary about California's high cost of living didn't help.
