I find it strange that LOTS of people do not connect Technology & Economics! Economists with PhDs cannot figure out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles half-a-century after the Moon Landing??? Ridiculous! 😜

Paying $250 for a visa makes so much sense! Will it be possible to fix the crap and carnage created by the Preztard within a Decade after he is gone? Then we will have to tolerate the clowns that voted for him for Decades! When did economists advocate mandatory accounting in the schools though?

Karl Marx used the word 'depreciation' 100+ times in Das Kapital. But there were no automobiles to depreciate back then. Do economists understand enough about technology to figure out Planned Obsolescence? What would the Depreciation of 200,000,000 motor vehicles amount to? The United States 1995!

So when/where have unions been promoting accounting. Dbl-Entry accounting is 700 yrs old. Why hasn't it been mandatory in schools since 1950? Adam Smith used the word 'education' EIGHTY Times. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" FIVE times. Have Economists heard of him? He didn't know NDP tho!

How abt mandatory accounting in the schools? Could have been done since 1950! How much have Americans lost on the depreciation of automobiles each yr since 1950? Would that be Capitalist or Socialist information? Karl Marx used the word 'depreciation' 100+ times in Das Kapital. No cars back then!

Far-Seer is a novel written Robert J. Sawyer. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-Seer It is the 1st book of the Quintaglio Ascension Trilogy, and is followed by: Fossil Hunter & Foreigner. The book depicts an Earth-like world on a moon orbiting a gas giant, inhabited by sentient Tyrannosaurs.

"GDP Growth"? Can economists not figure out NDP, NET Domestic Product, or is it actually not taught in Econ? Samuelson's Economics textbook was 600+ pages back in the 1970s. But the NNP, NET National Product, only got half of a page and was not mentioned in my Econ 101 class. Look it up yourself!
