I've long maintained that GDP is absolutely the wrong metric for what we use it for.

It doesn't measure the things that actually matter most in actual people's lives and I believe that the obsession with its perpetual growth is one of the main drivers of injustice, environmental degradation and the corrosion of collective well being.

That said, it's extremely funny that a party focused on "growth", that paints itself as the Best at the Economy, is failing so miserably at their main stated goal.

Ditch GDP though. It's a net harm.
