Nobody ever contested that technocapitalism is going well. 

The claim is that everything else is a mess. 

Something nobody on the other side of this debate has ever addressed, much less refuted.

It’s funny, when someone Chinese or   Singaporean wants to flex they take a picture of a skyline or a bullet train.

When an American wants to flex they show you a GDP chart, because nothing they could take a photo of that would impress was built in the past 50 years.

Have fun living inside a GDP chart.

We have an economy that's been amazing at extracting productivity growth from tech. This chart does imply economic growth is some sort of zero-sum game. @dwr.eth do you agree with that worldview? Shouldn't tech expand the pie for everyone (who's willing to embrace it)?

150mm artillery shell doesn't give a fuck about someones GDP. PPP is all it matters.
