I remember hearing somewhere from someone once that: fucking your wife doesn't increase the GDP, but recording someone fucking your wife and selling it on OnlyFans does increase the GDP.

That's correct, though I like to use another example instead.

Consider a bugman who lives in a big city. He doesn't do his own laundry, he goes to a laundromat. He doesn't cook food, he eats at a restaurant. He doesn't raise his own kids, he hires a nanny to raise them. He doesn't drive himself, he hires a taxi. He doesn't own his home, he rents an apartment.

Now consider a normal human. He uses his washing machine to clean his clothes. He cooks his own food. He spends time with his kids. He transports himself. He owns his own house.

Both people did exactly the same things: they cleaned clothes, ate food, raised kids, moved around, and live somewhere. Their productivity is identical, yet only the bugman contributed to GDP.

GDP is NOT a productivity metric, it's a measure of the velocity of money.

I'm convinced that economists believe that people aren't just obligated to buy, but are calculated to buy like some machine. Would really explain modern corporate confusion as to why so many products fail because people have opinions and needs.

I know it's a meme that Americans love to buy more than they can spend; I didn't think it was taken literally. All you have to do is soapbox with a brand, and expect maximum profit. It's quite sad.

Libs have resorted to swatting Children’s Hospitals now. That’s a little over-the-top if you ask me!

That's true if the money you paid into social security was invested in an index fund it would pay out much more than social security gives.

• Social Security: You pay in $3,720/year, and in return, you could receive $18,000-$30,000/year.
• Index Fund: You pay in $3,720/year, and in return, you could withdraw around $44,000/year from your investment.

This is only true if you assume the stock market will always go up.

I have been meditating and reflecting on why Pam Bondi and Kash Patel have not done anything about epstiens island and why Trump didn't do anything his first term. I think the contents might actually be far worse than any of us can even fathom. It created more questions than answers and likely damn near broke their minds. What if their inaction and indeed the majority of law enforcement is not because they are in on it. It is actually genuine shock induced paralysis and what they read.

Epstein’s island wasn’t just about one man—it was a symptom of a corrupt system where the ultra-powerful believe they can do anything without consequences. It exposed how wealth, influence, and blackmail create a network of silence that protects predators and buries the truth. The real question isn’t just what happened there, but why it was allowed to happen for so long, and how many others like him are still out there, shielded by the same system.

Probably think it's deserved because of fear of alt-white trolls spreading lies(aka actual truth) underneath.

Dude just whips it out then immediately ran away. If you are going to threaten someone with a gun the least you can do is keep it pointed at them for at least a few seconds to get the point across.

It's the M.O. of the leftists, ban all dissent and then grave-dance on those you've banned as proof of your superior debating skills

Reminded him too much of his dick and he recoiled in disgust.

I cant quite make out the model of the revolver from the low qaulity of the clip but its not anything i recognize as a revolverfag. It may well be airsoft.

This is the US General Political thread. It's purpose is to cover anything remotely relevant, not just the things you sanction

Then how come the Ukranian War sperging was sumarily forbidden?

Imagine trying to believe something has thoughts and feelings when it can't even come up with a reason they're eating goyslop.

Well you see, after going a bit without eating people begin to experience what we call "hunger".

Then how come the Ukranian War sperging was sumarily forbiden?

I still think that was the stupidest thing to happen.

A coward pulls a gun, and with all of the power in the world chooses to run.

The man of conviction, doesn't back down even when confronted with violence even if unarmed.

The war itself is not relevant to USPG beyond funding and diplomatic news pieces. But even then any news became open season on autistic slapfights over which side is right and the entire history of the Slavic region which is not US politics.

Dude stood by his convictions in the face of danger. And subsequently the troon crumbled. Pulling a gun on an unarmed street preacher is psychotic. Fleeing from that unarmed man is pathetic.
