The DOWNFALL OF THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT could be blamed on the
new law banning foreigners from its Pot Cafes.
Pot tourism was the CURE of choice FOR BANK-OCRACY.
You see, Holland also has some dangerous banks.
"SPARK one and forget your worries" was the ad campaign.
THE SMOKE HOUSE LOBBY SAID AUSTERITY IS
AFFECTING Gross Domestic SMOKING, & that

grab your hydroponics, we're gonna save this country
Here's another myth that I had believed until last week.
I thought GDP was supposed to be the total of all
manufacturing and services that got sold in a country,
over a period of time.
WRONG.
That's good , because for decades now , I thought ,
"how do they do that" and had come to the conclusion
that GDP as a measurement was bullshit, anyway.
It's not just any old bullshit, it's not even about production,
at all.
gross domestic PRODUCT! D-uuuh.
How could I be so stupid?
It's about cash flow in the economy. So, it could include
all the illegal drug activity in the country, if it were legalised,
and immediately we'd get a boost of 15% on GDP,
because drugs are now sold on the black market,
the GDP of which goes up, the more the economy crumbles.

The thing about GDP, is that it doesn’t really measure wealth creation, or the size of the economy. It measures a derivative of that: money circulation. If Congress passed a law saying that everyone in America had to smoke meth (hey, if you can mandate the purchase of health insurance, why not mandate drug consumption in the name of increasing GDP?) and gamble all their disposable income on horse racing, GDP would almost certainly improve. And that’s growth, right? Except it isn’t. Real growth comes from innovation, productivity, imagination, and hard work. You can attempt to quantify it, but there is no easy catch-all number that will give you a quick and simple insight.
