Hot take: Though currently use national GDP and stock prices to determine the health of the nation, we should instead be using national wellbeing scores.

GPD/stocks/etc should just be footnote insomuch as it helps serve the wellbeing scores.

And actually stock prices are a terrible measure because they require growth

Which means we never just are ok with things

All the prejudices, conscious and not, and preconceptions dissolved when I began treating society’s most destitute in the ED. I don’t know how anyone else can hold onto them

What if we thought of freeloaders as people who need help because they have lived with scarcity and that's a difficult thing to reset mentally? So let's just take care of everyone.

Yup
