Two economists are walking through a park. The first economist points at a pile of dog shit and says "I'll give you $100 to eat that", the second economist eats it and takes the $100.
A few minutes later the second economist points at another pile of dog shit and says "I'll give you $100 if you eat that", the first economist eats it and takes the $100.
Sometime later the first economist says "hang on, I think we both just ate shit for nothing", the second one replies "not at all, we added $200 to GDP!"
This is a brilliant illustration of the stupid GDP fetishism <3
This is different because a corrupt president (and his vice president) started a war to k give taxpayer (and future taxpayers’ money) to defense contractors and their billionaire owners.
Yeah. They literally steal public money to enrich their cronies. It's been a kleptocracy the entire time.
I did try to rewrite it slightly to fit the actual situation, but couldn't make it work.
hehehehe
Yeah, except the ones eating shit are the rest of us...
And what about all those who've lost family members to an opiod overdose? Or a PTSD suicide?
cannon fodder.
What do you expect from a country that replaced Trump with Trump?
Don't worry, they learned: they replaced the Maduro regime with the Maduro regime in just a couple of days!
In the UK people are seriously considering voting for the man that gave us the shitshow that is brexit, his platform is anti migrant, when Brexit made it easier for migrants on boats to come here. You'd think we'd hold these people to account more.
But it's not the same Taliban! One were locals, the other yokels. Subtle, but important difference!
norm doesn't seem like the kind to make these kinds of jokes, this a mark twin situation? i mean, i know he'd agree with the sentiment and maybe he did say it, but just seems off brand for him ya know?

Do you listen to him regularly? I've heard some stuff from him, but not much. It's like he fell off the earth after he got his golden pager.
Don't forget the people killed too.
And without cause while befriending the murderous people who actually caused 9-11.
Now I gotta get face scanned naked with someone's hand up my ass to fly for business reasons. I will never fly with family no matter how much they try to tell us how safe flying is...okay its safe? Then there's no need to have the TSA's hand up my butt then right?
Nah, forget that bunch of shit. Just drive. It's too far? Then don't, its too far. Stay and help the local economy.
Correction: it took one fuckwit to initiate a plan to pull the troops out, ~~which~~ who had a stabilising effect on the country.
Do you actually believe what you wrote there?
Guys an idiot. Those women are in much better shape now that the real men are back in charge!
What part of what I said was wrong? I accidentally implied the opposite of what I meant, but I fixed it, if that's the point you were alluding to.
