why do you hate GDP growth?

GDP growth concentrated in the hands of the few (IE, absent GDP per capita growth) results in increased income inequality, which results in greater populism, which makes America a less viable and safe option for my children and grandchildren. Our government plays the short game pertaining to each election cycle with its policy. That is not smart

If GDP growth is our highest guiding principle, we have 12 and soon to be 13 aircraft carriers. People's resources can easily become our resources if we stop with the facade of imperium and actually collect. I'm not advocating for this, I'm simply saying GDP growth can be accomplished without inviting MS-13 and welfare recipients (who, importantly, are often hideously ugly) into our country.

hope this helps

THREE

Not exalting the gifted prevents quarreling.
Not collecting treasures prevents stealing.
Not seeing desirable things prevents confusion of the heart.

The wise therefore rule by emptying hearts and stuffing bellies.
By weakening ambitions and strengthening bones.
If people lack knowledge and desire,
Then it is best not to interfere.
If nothing is done, then all will be well.

- Lao Tzu

do this if you have a residence you can keep hidden or defend and feed yourself with until things stabilize.

I for one will just yank out silver and gold teeth from the antifa militants and retire from the city wars a rich man.
