    It has the eleventh-largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the fourth-largest economy by GDP (PPP) (purchasing power parity)

    • its a fair point you make, there are various and contested metrics for comparing economies.

    even acknowledging and conceding my argument is contestable and just one of many ways to perceive the claim, i have not done enough and must now eat my downvotes, fair play, i’ll keep trying to bring better reasoned arguments that don’t rely on simply dismissing my opponents as radical or irrational and continue to eat the downvotes, i just want others to see what it looks like when you actually try to have a conversation in some of these corners.

    what i say is not the message so much as your reaction

      What conversation??? And who the heck you think you’re writing, anyway? You provided no source, not even for your “alternative facts”.

      This what you think a conversation is? No wonder you have no success. 🙄

          That would explain the completely weird “quote” in the reply. You’re probably right.

        exactly: what conversation??? you only speak to hurl insults, go back to the woodwork and practice your downvotes if that’s all you’re good for.
