> If GDP goes up 5%, but you only get a 3% raise does that make GDP a bad measure of the economy?

let's stick with the basics. this was the whole conversation, a leading question that pretends to be a thought exercise that suggests in some other scenario that GDP is a good measure. no more, no less. I think we've gone over everything now.

I didn't see where you developed the bulletproof case that GDP was a bad measure. If you've proven that at some point, I'm happy to adjust my understanding. In lieu of that, I'll go with the economic experts who regularly study, use, and rely on GDP for real world analysis.

> you're the only one that had to read it twice, we talked about it now, good talk.

The lack of punctuation and choice of verb tense made it difficult to understand, no need for the condescending tone.
