you got to watch the number grow

bro

GDP obsession is a great way to rationalize undermining your own country and its citizenry for your own personal gain.

The world is not going to end anytime soon.

@Ethreen42, you could grow GDP by having people bury and dig up trash, then bury it again.

Mr. Keynes over here, @Ethreen42.

Is that an argument for it or against it?

"No where your policies have been implemented have ever improved the environment and human life"

>tfw preventing overpopulation and the formation of slums doesn't improve the environment or human life

Do not engage in the economics of mass immigration. It concedes that your identity has a price that could be bought if the net gain was positive.

Fuck the GDP.

Against central planning, @Zakhan.

peak liberalism right here

Some decisions have to be made on the level of the nation state, Jeremy.

Saudi Arabia has an extremely high GDP,


except all of it is in the hands of like 0,1% of the population.

GDP per capita is where it's at bois

I went to Mike Bloombergs facebook page to shitpost. And I ended up getting a bunch of support from Bernie bros. 😁

🤣

Just think for a second, how stupid someone would have to be to look at this map and go "hmm yes you can totally settle this land it's not like it's majority desert or anything "

Don't be an autist and claim that controlling migration to keep the system stable is central planning a lá soviet central planning.

@Jeremy I'm meddling in your elections my dude. 😉

That's just dishonest.

Guys we have so much land that hasn't been settled on, maybe that's because that land cant be settled on, nah that ain't right

Tbh, a lot of unsettled Australian land is viable. Not all though.

*some*

If you try to stop mass immigration, you're basically Stalin.

Lol

It's like in that politfi novel

but just because land is unsettled doesn't it mean it has to be settled @Swedishmafia101

True, I'm just saying it's possible

The aliens conquered tte earth and divided it into equal quadrants. Then they decided to spread humanity equally so if you're not the kind of person they like you get allocated sahara

If you invest any time into learning about Australia's terrain, you quickly catch on to why it is utterly fucking terrible.

Prison continent indeed.

especially when decent land is basically a luxury in Australia

I don't want us all packed like sardines into every available space.

Sweden has a small population and a fuckton of forest. But that doesn't mean that Sweden has some manifest destiny to become Mega City One.

@Zakhan, the problem is with stopping it all, which these idiots who profess to be on the right are concerned with solely to create labor shortages in the economy to inflate wages.

Nah, man. We've gotta have our megacities.

>megacities

yuck

The entire world population could fit in a very small space.

Doesn't mean that's a good idea.

@Jeremy So now you want wages to drop and to maintain a buyer's market?

whew

See?

@fvriovs pretty much sums up my views on the subject tbh
