      Actually it has some factual basis. He’s wealthy, it would be bad for him, he thinks he’s the economy. He just has a big, selfish, ego.

        It could actually be true in the sense that producing 1mil things for 1€ each or producing a single overpriced luxury version of the same thing for 2mil€ is a 1mil€ difference in the GDP.

        But I’d argue the first is still a better economy than the second. But economists will only like the second one.

        These people have the same revenue as a small country, so I can see where they’re coming from.

        I still think we should use their bodies as fertilizer.
