Absolutely spot on ๐ŸŽฏ ๐Ÿ’ฏ However before we even discuss how dumb publishing GDP data on the blockchain is, it's also important to note that GDP is a fundamentally flawed and misleading metric. When the government borrows billions for wasteful projects, GDP rises. When a hurricane destroys a city and rebuilding begins, GDP rises again. In short, GDP is not a measure of wealth or well-being, but a Keynesian accounting trick born out of the political needs of the 1930s and 1940s, and it continues to serve as a convenient justification for more government expansion.

Absolutely. We've not had a decade in our existence without war, something like 95% of the time since US started we've been warring somewhere or another. There's a reason the military industrial complex thrives ๐Ÿ™„
