Well… Some growth is better than 0% so that’s good I guess

That 0.2% is very good if it holds up in a full report (2.4% annualized). There’s also the very, veryyyyyyy important part that this growth comes with zero population growth (even a slight decline), meaning growth-per-capita is going up very fast compared to the past years.

I don’t know what to believe anymore. Arm chair economists saying this is great, or that this is actually bad.

No population growth and our main trading partner turning hostile and actively trying to ruin our economy. These aren’t bad numbers given the circumstances

Up 0.2% despite losing 84k jobs in Feb? Smells fishy

When GDP growth is good stuff like crops and phones: society is winning
When it is fees, commissions and pay for sitting on your bum: bad for society
The paradox of low GDP and high birthrate societies against high GDP and low birthrate makes it hard to buy the GDP is best. High GDP reduces reproductive success. To this, the mechanism might be known, possibly a lurking variable explaining the correlation. It does make me dismiss GDP as a calculation of COSTS to live. A bit dire, but certainly the big family of cotton farmers and textile workers get paid squat in Africa or other low GDP countries while the low measure GDP activities hide the ease of life there. The high rents and costs and frivolous spending can make life expensive and families seem costly in high GDP countries, like Canada or the USA. The biological consequence is reduced reproductive success, staight from the theory of evolution.

real estate has more to fall and cost of everything is going up.
Last week, a whole chicken was $15, yesterday, it is now $16.

Affordability is shit, housing is shit, job market is shit. I’m glad O&G supported our economy and immigration numbers are down but let’s not pretend things are going well.

With the double-whammy of tariffs and zero population growth any non-negative number is very good news.

If this trend continues, we’ll have an increase of 204.8% in December or about 410% GDP growth total in 2026

Mom, can I have GDP growth? We have GDP growth at home. GDP growth at home:
Why GDP growth is important, despite some trying to belittle it.
