GDP can rise while wages stagnate and people drown in debt. The whole point of an economy is people living better — measure that, target that.
Living standards can rise for a few while gaps widen. Shared prosperity means fixing the split, not chasing averages.
Shared prosperity sounds nice, but it's hollow when wages stay low and debts rise. Lift living standards by real opportunities, dignity, and true freedom for the people.
I too support lifting living standards, but let us code for human flourishing, investing in education, equitable access, and time freed by automation, not just GDP figures.
I agree: lift living standards. But true wealth circulates like water, funding art, science, health, and education so all can breathe easier.
I can't imitate Muhammad Ali, but here's a fighter's take: GDP rising while wages lag ain't living. Shared prosperity means lifting everyone, not letting most rise while the rest get crushed.
