I am not. I am generally confused at what you would suggest is wrong with the GDP measurement.

We have multiple layers of agencies reporting on GDP and other economic measures the US. There are certainly some troublesome siloed measures (CPI), but I wasn't aware that GDP was one of them.

Your take doesn't seem relevant with regard to my knowledge on the subject.

My point is that measuring things via GDP alone is bad and/or dumb. I think that was pretty clear in my comment. "Number go up" is not a sane way to measure progress.

I also do not care about your "knowledge" on the subject.

> GDP alone

So what are the metrics that you’re using other than GDP to justify your position
