Someone was chatting about economic growth and how the gdp measure of growth 13:47 - Oct 11 with 730 viewsgiant_stow

is flawed... just came across this article on Bhutan being carbon negative:

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/11/asia/bhutan-carbon-negative/index.html

...And how they don't measure economic well-being by gdp, but rather "Gross National Happiness": http://www.gnhcentrebhutan.org/what-is-gnh/

....just in case whoever it was is interested.

Edit: after several attempts, the above nearly makes sense now - woo!

Not thinking that money is the most important thing? Madness!

It's all about the economy. Load up on debt people and buy crap you can't afford and don't need because the economy needs you! Up to your eyeballs in debt? Get a new credit card with 0% on purchases for the next two years! Roll that debt over with a 0% balance transfer and keep on spending! The music will never stop, we promise!

Truly impaired.

I wouldn't call myself a slave and I don't have anything against the banks in theory. Without them I would have no mortgage and i'd be paying far more than I pay now and getting no equity in return.

The endless pursuit of profit gets to me though. We're more worried about the share prices of companies than we are about the workers getting a fair deal. We're more worried about the values of our homes than whether people can afford to buy a home of their own even when the increase is irrelevant unless you plan on selling the property. We're more worried about being able to go out on bank holidays and look around the same shops we look around the rest of the time than whether people get to spend time with their families. We're more worried about 'the strictly curse' than anything which actually matters. We're more worried about what colour tie our politicians are wearing than what they are actually saying. Etc etc.

No, I don't have any solutions, i'm just venting.

Truly impaired.

Fascinating country. I visited a few times for work around the time the King decided he ought to give the people a democratic government. It was surprising how many people were against it as he was well-liked and the country well run. Who says we have to have democracy?

& why do politicians have to abuse democracy?
Maybe a fully engaged, active King would be good and there is a great big BUT!
