I remember listening to a podcast a while back where some dude measured the economy based on copper or something and was accurate for a lot of things. It’s one of those weird measurements because it can be relevant in some ways but utterly retarded in others.

The way we measure economic activity is also strange with GDP being the focus yet it’s a load of shit at the end of the day. I wonder do they give up in the age of AI with those silly measurements or double down and program the AI to shut up? Lol
