> It's such a kneejerk reaction of our countrymen to defend our insane way of life by bringing up GDP numbers
I'm not from the US. I live in latin america where people think like you do and feel everyone is entitled to a bunch of "essential" things by the state using public money, and here I am watching Argentina from the other side of the river as it beats its poverty high score every day right after Venezuela did the same thing with the same exact steps. Just now they socialized the Internet, cable and telcos, wonder what else is going to be "essential".

That is not my link. It's not even in the same comment subtree.
> Don't give a damn about GDP.
Well, pick a country around here from the ones that share your line of thought and just move. If you can get me one of them unhappy green cards on your way please let me know.
- Daishiman 6y agoDude, they didn't socialize. If you're going to complain about the country then get the facts straight. FYI, if you're a porteño from Av Rivadavia or further up north in the city, your infrastructure is just as good as, if not better, than most American cities. And I've lived in quite a few.
