That's just a given

That we're in a losing battle.

If you believe it's impossible and simply don't bother, then don't even bother being here.

There are forces more powerful than we can imagine fighting us.

because I'd be a hypocrit.

If I gave up.

If you don't want to face them, go.

Zak's stat reminded me of that time that the Eurasian Economic Union had a lower combined GDP than Russia but Russia was a member

and the CIA was the source

PPP is idiotic

And for you to really get a biased source

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2001rank.html

use offical exchange rates

>official exchange rates

PPP has more relevence to the people of that country

Yeah but IRL.

The true value.

you use offical exchange rates.

official exchange rates aren't always right

PPP is jsut like "oh your currency is really inflated here ya go"

better than PPP

Ever heard of currency manipulation?

I'm still right.

Hi still right., I'm Dad!

The offical exchange rates prove me so.

PPP is bullshit.

>people trade currency illegally on the black market because official exchange rates are bullshit

>Zak still uses nominal

No body uses PPP when you go to buy soemthing across country lines

It's going to all be official exchange rates

IE: how much your money is ACTUALLY worth.

Most people don't buy their shopping in foreign countries

I certainly don't anyway

Ok Nuke
