PPP isn’t a good or any indicator of that either, Guyana has a higher GDP PPP per capita than France or Canada, Bulgaria is below Russia and Kazakhstan.

Both are flawed proxies for QoL but PPP less so.

Canada and France have better QoL than Guyana at similar PPP GDP because of more equal distribution. They also happen to have higher non-PPP GDP but it's unrelated - it's accidental that in this case PPP normalization modifies the PPP GDP comparison to correlate less with QoL difference.

..Ok but we're talking about the size of the economy you do know that right? Did you read even the headline?

The title of a headline does not dictate what I get to think and talk about. I'm not twelve.

You seem emotional about these facts. I'll let you get on with your day.

I didn't say anything about emotions. Are you confused?

> I’m not twelve

Not yet, anyway.

What a useless comment.

We care about both, so we use different measurements for both.
