Why don't they do it sooner? What's stopping them?

High GDP mean the billionaires are very rich and not much else these days

Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit. The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit. They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit. Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing." "That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

You left out the part where they each paid a consultant $15 to determine that the $100 was indeed worth the shit eating. Then a lawyer to draw up a contract for another $15 each. Which has factor 90 so the recipient had to cover the lawyers fees and consultant fees on credit at 5% for 90 days. Then they claimed the $100 as income and had to pay 24% income tax so technically they lost money in a shit eating contest.

Child labour, fewer holidays and longer working hours would also increase GDP per capita

Mississippi had an impressive GDP of 122 billion USD, meanwhile Germany had a piddly 4.5 trillion USD. 4.5 is obviously less than 122.4.

While yes, the funny I must inform you, OP was speaking of GDP **per capita**

Kiwi_Doodle@reddit

Germany's had 66'000, Mississippi had 53'000. OP is still a brainlet, it's just less funny that way.

anon straight up lied, also GDP per capita doesn't mean much when 0.01% of your populations holds 2/3 of the wealth, and 1/3 of your population is on food stamps and barely affords rent

While the USA are in average richer than Europe, saying that Mississippi is richer than France or Germany is so delusional

Gdp per capita is heavily influenced by currency. As the US devalues it's currency, we'll find Mississippi no longer beats out EU countries

Mississippi has a GDP of about 120 billion with a population of 3 million. Germany's GDP is 4.5 trillion with a population of 84 million. So Germany's population is 28 times bigger but generates 375 times the value that Mississippi does. It achieves this while having universal healthcare and public transit. Meanwhile people in Mississippi can't afford housing, food, or Healthcare! Really changes perspectives when you dont cherrypick data that sounds good but is devoid of context dont it

Anon swallowed the propaganda, gdp per capita doesn’t indicate wealth distribution. Mississippi residents will shout this “fact” until their last hospital closes and every road outside Jackson is broken cobbles.
