    Which is exactly why GDP is so stupid as a metric of economic health, and precisely why it's the primary indicator of economic health used by our government.

    Because it's bullshit they can point at and talk about how great things are while the real economy is breaking down around us.

    They've also (hopefully) paid their due taxes on that.

    Define "due taxes"? It's all a net loss bc "we" paid so much in nontaxable stock options to our senior leadership so they could borrow more money and buy a 2nd plane to get from their private island to their new boat.
