This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A falling population with a stagnant economy sounds bad but that's a rising standard of living.

Long hours are not captured in GDP but Japan had that problem long before the population pyramid inverted.

Oh no, not just stagnant GDP. Stagnant/decreasing GDP per capita. The absolute GDP is down even more.
