Just rebuild bro

 

The tree of American economy must be constantly refreshed with constant expenses.

 

They aren't Number 1 country by GDP for nothing.

how long before countries shift to using wealth per capita as a metric so we can start ignoring this burger scam?

Well of course having wealth is good. I'm just saying it's not the only measurement that says something of value. In Germany, many people rent and don't own the houses they live in. In many post-soviet countries, it is different. The average person there might have more wealth because they own real estate, but their overall quality of life is still worse.
