I already called the straw man. Please don't double down on it, especially when what you wrote is not even factual.

- boxed 3y agoJust FYI this is a different person that replied to you. And no, it's not a straw man. And it's not incorrect. GDP is extremely vulnerable to broken window economics. The entire US healthcare system for example. It should really be subtracted from the GDP, not added to it.
- mytailorisrich 3y agoObviously I know it is not the same person (you). It is still a straw man to the point of the discussion, you are still adding to the straw man and making strange claims, which at this points make me suspect that you simply do not understand it despite the explanation or are too blinded by ideological bias. Either way, that's a 'bye' from me because there is discussion possible ("we all know this" was a big red flag). Lasty, his comment was indeed not factual because what he wrote about sidewalks in Europe is plainly BS (an I am an European).
- namaria 3y agoYou're building a strawman out of a red herring my friend. If you're gonna be pedantic at least get it right.
