it's not. An economy where only a select few benefit from the GDP (e.g. via stocks - the richest 10% of Americans own 93% of the stocks!) is not a "quality of life" measure at all.

You can select yourself as a beneficiary by buying stocks. With Robinhood, you can do so with less than a C-note.

> the richest 10% of Americans own 93% of the stocks

Most prolly got that way by buying stocks!
