But the US is still performing better on all metrics:
1. more innovation
2. high economic growth
3. better salaries
Whatever you are doing works.
- polygamous_bat 3y ago> 1. more innovation How do we quantify it? And how do we know that it is not the result of metric-hacking, as the GP commented, and is actually true "innovation"? > 2. high economic growth Same as above. > 3. better salaries Only for a small slice of the population. Income inequality is growing across the country, and it is not an obviously good thing if a small fraction of the country is getting boundlessly richer while the rest of the country/world suffers.
- kla-s 3y agoThat is a very special set of metrics and one could argue the opposite using e.g. social and environmental externalities (social safety net/ energy consumption pP...). The other thing is, is there more real innovation going on or is this just some local hyper optimization of making the numbers go up? I don`t claim to be the judge/arbiter on this matter, guess i`m glad we can compare both on this world
