- jokethrowaway 5y agoThere is not much to rejoice if all that growth will go in the hands of the few friends of the government, leaving a richer 0.01%, a broken middle class and unstable societies.
- ailef 5y agoI guess this is sarcastic?
- rapnie 5y ago> unprecedented growth .. at unprecedented cost
- ekianjo 5y agoSo as long as some KPIs are positive, let's ignore the loss of fundamental freedoms?
- toxik 5y ago"Some KPIs are positive"? I had no idea HN was this backwards. More people have moved out of poverty than ever before. Quality of life is improving in so many places, just not around /you/. Amazingly cynical point of view.
- ekianjo 5y ago> More people have moved out of poverty than ever before. Erm, you are answering with this argument to the wrong person. I am the first person to point out this kind of things. This does not mean you can ignore the erosion of civil liberties.
