"GDP measures everything except that which is worthwhile"

[llamaimperative]

This is irrelevant, I'm not talking about GDP. I'm saying that people generally don't pay money for things they don't value, ergo when people are paid money, it's for things that other people value.

[tsupiroti]

That's exactly what GDP measures: how much money people have paid and gotten paid for things.
