it doesnt tho

2019-11-24 16:04:08 UTC  

it shows what is supposed to show

2019-11-24 16:04:12 UTC  

it shows the economic activity

2019-11-24 16:15:38 UTC  

it doesnt do that accurately

2019-11-24 16:17:02 UTC  

its literally the sum of the value of good and services produced over a year

2019-11-24 16:17:13 UTC  

its all there is to total economic activity

2019-11-24 16:17:17 UTC  

what else can you add

2019-11-24 16:17:18 UTC  

ffs

2019-11-24 16:17:45 UTC  

also, there is one especially dumb thing in the article

2019-11-24 16:18:22 UTC  

the guy says, that GDP grew nicely until 2008 then it crashed, and that this is a problem with GDP because it doesn't show you the signs beforehand

2019-11-24 16:18:35 UTC  

but thats the point! it's not a metric that is supposed to predict!

2019-11-24 16:18:44 UTC  

it's supposed to show you what's happening in the given moment

2019-11-24 16:19:02 UTC  

weak economic activity is the symptom of economic crisis not its cause

2019-11-24 16:19:27 UTC  

GDP itself is fine, the problem is that people for some reason think you can accurately apply it everywhere and to everything

2019-11-24 16:20:07 UTC  

then it well, obviously fails, because its supposed to show you 1 concrete thing so no wonder, but then those people yell that its a bad indicator

2019-11-24 16:23:20 UTC  

it's like taking a table with countries population, then complaining it fails to tell you anything about the countries wealth, and blaming the very metric instead of its use

2019-11-24 21:19:01 UTC  

They are used in the wrong context by people like you all the time

2019-11-24 22:07:04 UTC  

i dont use it in the wrong context so no not people like me

2019-11-24 22:07:13 UTC
