This just creates a world where investors and executives are to focused on the bottom line to get any change passed thanks to their corporate lobbyists.

imo we gotta look at these indicators as well as some more unconventional indicators happiness (happier people means more spending on recreation), pay rates/salary, worker rights/union membership, equal rights, avg $ in savings, social safety net stability, tax rates. Countries that have these (Nordic) have amazing economies.

Well no the investors just want to make money thats how it always has been and always will be otherwise there would be no “investor.” The CEOs and executives get payed based on the performance of their company. Inflation is currently way down and middle class is richer and paying less taxes than the previous 4 years yet you’re still in denial since the inflation magnet you voted for lost. Why do you hate so much that you lost the election that you cant enjoy the United States winning?
