c10l, 1 year ago That reminds me of that joke: Two economists are walking side-by-side. One tells the other: I’ll give you $100 if you take a shit on the pavement. He proceeds to shit on the pavement and grab the $100. He then tells the other economist: I’ll give you $100 if you eat my shit. The other does the deed and collects his $100. After walking a few more blocks, one of them says: both of us left our dignity with that work back there and neither of us are any richer! To which the other responds: no, but we grew our combined GDP to $200. And they both walked away happy, patting each other on their backs.
