Yes, it would be 30% lower but cost of living isn't in the calculation.

look at Barbados and Norway

Cost of living is the same, ppp isn't

it really isn't

cost of living and ppp are not the same

Average Income is also known as Per-capita income. It measures the average income earned per person in a given area in specified year. National Income is the sum total of all the goods and services produced in a country along with the income obtained from all foreign countries.

"Adjusted net national income is GNI minus consumption of fixed capital and natural resources depletion."

why not use average income?

I hope all will do that

yeah because we're all moving around in tanks

bro seems like rpging stereotypical US-American a little too well for it to be meant as a joke

protect from what... Afghanistan never wanted to invade USA...

no, "smaller"

look up the criticism of 3d pie charts many here know maybe

well, it wasn't a weather balloon

you put the no in the back making it look smaller

that's what I was trying to say with the "bro"

you gotta post on Monday

what about total length per day?

It is a substantial argument. Military spending for civil research progress is super inefficient.

audits literally cost money but I wasn't trying to say that their cost increase would surpass the savings

yeah I believed you already and 2x/3x for a common thing is crazy

Wouldn't say ridiculous since we could have it. It's just a hypothetical scenario to explain something. Obviously we would gain all military expenses if military wasn't necessary because wars are possible. If military was only about defense of own country, USA could drop all except nuking capabilities.

If audits really solve the issues procurements try to solve without additional costs, then sure, sucks how ineffcient everything is.

Ah you know, I know what a military is. Imagine there was only one country, then any military spending would be a waste.

>Also many daily technology things you use, like the internet we are having this discussion on, was invented either by or for the military.

blabla, that's a stupid af argument

Like imagine the R&D 800 billion could give.

corruption might add 15-30% without procurement

I was more about the fact that military doesn't create value

what's a nut broad stroke?

worth it

if Apple shares* are more precious
