Nations are not economic zones.
That matters, because from a pure GDP standpoint the ideal citizen is someone who gets cancer, gets divorced, crashes the car, and hires a small army of professionals before dying.
Nobody contributed more to UK GDP this week than Henry Nowak’s killer.
Think about that.
Police response. Medical response. Detectives. Public affairs officers. Dozens of lawyers. Prison for life. All of it staggeringly expensive. Vickrum Digwa has already made up the entire lifetime GDP contribution of the man he killed. Probably a hundred times over.
Migration isn’t just about votes.
Consider yourself. A patriot who lives a simple life.
You are not a burden on society, so you contribute little to GDP. //
Your pastor told you that becoming an electrician, a plumber, a nurse, a firefighter, a teacher would contribute to society. He told you to live a simple life. To love and protect your family and your neighbors. He told you not to gamble or drink or have affairs.
Don’t you see why they hate the church?
Why they hate you?
In their eyes you are wasted space.
You may contribute enormously on the human scale, the only scale that has ever actually mattered, you may contribute non economic values like love, honor and duty. You might contribute locally on a micro-economic scale.
But in the big picture you are an economic loss. Because you contribute almost nothing to GDP.
You contribute far far leas than a criminal migrant with a mental disorder, gambling addiction and cancer.
You are a great American in the eyes of your church.
But on an economic GDP scale you are the very worst type of American.
