Is GDP Grossly Distorted Propaganda?

How many billion$ have consumers lo$t on technology built to NOT Last?

Karl Marx mentioned depreciation 100+ times but there were no Cars to depreciate back then & no Planned Obsolescence.

What is Economics REALLY?!?

Is it the management of resources to maximize quality of life & distribution of wealth? Or is it an Economic Power Game to maximize the Flow of MONEY?

What is the story with English speaking countries?

We could have had mandatory accounting in schools since 1950.

Adam Smith used the word 'education' EIGHTY Times in Wealth of Nations. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" FIVE times.

Marx wrote about Depreciation!

When did European Economists figure out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles?

How long has it been since P-38 Lightnings and P-51 Mustangs were flying over Europe at 400 mph?

Why has anybody given a damn about cars since 1980? wwtech

Economics makes more sense if you think of it as a Power Game!

Accounting could have been mandatory in high schools since 1950. The traditional social structure has decided that most people are supposed to be losers who do not know the script.

Screw the peons! 🤑

Dbl-Entry Accounting is SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS old.

Mandatory Accounting in high schools has been too difficult a concept for economists since 1950!

That Adam Smith guy used the word 'education' EIGHTY Times in his book, Wealth of Nations. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" FIVE times.

Do PhDs read?

Trumpression!

One obvious difference about the Great Depression and now is that it was not preceded by 70 years of planned obsolescence in automobiles. That would have been the American Civil War.

No Cars! 🚔 😆

The NET Domestic Product has slipped the minds of the entire Economics Profession! 🤑

When do economists say that Accounting should be mandatory in schools?

Double Entry Accounting is SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS old!

Economists rationalize the Economic POWER Games!

You expect economists to predict Egomaniacal Imbecility?

They are miracle workers but really! 🤣

Trump rational? 😆 🤣 😆

Could you imagine Trump attaining the rank of colonel in any competent military? I can't.

Where would he be if he wasn't born rich?

Does depreciation due to planned obsolescence have anything to do with Reality?

Of course consumer depreciation would occur even without planned obsolescence. Is physics reality?
Why isn't it in the Net Domestic Product equation?

Why are economists ignoring the Depreciation of Durable Consumer Goods since Apollo 11?

There were 200,000,000 motor vehicles in the US in 1995. How many are still running today? How many replaced?

The replacements got added to GDP but the junked cars owned by consumers never got subtracted.

Economists hate themselves?

I went to college for Electrical Engineering. I had to study some Physics. I took Econ 101.

I dropped out and fixed electronics for Panasonic and eventually IBM.

Since WWII lots of consumer products depend on Physics.

When do you hear economists talking about the DEPRECIATION of Cars & Phones?

Who voted for that idiot?

Does anyone believe that Trump can figure out the consequences of his actions when other people may change their behavior as a result?

Can Trump play chess worth a damn?

He is just an egomaniac with delusions of grandeur who cannot accept that other players are smarter.

The Economics Profession has not been telling us how much is lost annually on the depreciation of automobiles since the Moon Landing.

200,000,000 motor vehicles in the US in 1995. Look up what happened to the price of the Ford Model-T from 1908 to 26. $850-$300

Ask two or more AIs when PhD economists should have figured out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles. An AI does not have a career, ego or reputation to maintain.
