That's the summary made by chatGPT. With what do you disagree? - If you're analyzing economic dominance, trade relationships, or global influence, **nominal GDP** is usually the preferred metric. - If you're comparing living standards, economic productivity, or income distribution, **GDP (PPP)** is more appropriate.

"So, ChatGPT says that Russia is number 4 of in the World in terms of livings standards? 😀" Where is it written in my post?

Do you have anything to support your claim or are you just parroting MAGA propaganda? Doesn't the U.S. base in Greenland play a key role in protecting the U.S. by allowing to detect in advance ballistic missiles launched at North America (that's precisely its purpose)? Aren't U.S. mining companies making profit and supplying the U.S. with critical minerals? Haven't Greenland and Denmark banned Chinese firms from investing in infrastructure since 2018?

U.S. Prosecutors Investigate Allegation on Pfizer Vaccine Timing
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
From the OP.... However, the review of the vaccine’s effectiveness and safety was handled by an independent data-safety monitoring committee, which relayed its findings to Pfizer and its partner BioNTech. Pfizer filmed and later broadcasted the moment its executives learned of the trial's successful results, which occurred on November 8, 2020—one day after Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. -
I asked Copilot (ChatGPT), in order to get an external assessment. Here's the reply: ### Nominal GDP: - **Definition**: Measured at current market exchange rates, reflecting the value of goods and services in terms of the local currency converted to a common currency (usually USD). - **Best for**: Comparing the size and strength of economies in the global market. It’s particularly relevant for evaluating countries' influence in global trade, investment, and financial markets. - **Weakness**: It does not account for differences in cost of living across countries, which may distort the real value of economic output. ### GDP (PPP): - **Definition**: Adjusts for differences in price levels between countries, essentially reflecting the purchasing power of each country's currency within its borders. - **Best for**: Comparing living standards and the real value of economic output. It’s useful when you want to assess how much a given amount of income can buy in terms of goods and services within each country. - **Weakness**: It may not accurately reflect a country’s ability to engage in international trade or its influence in global markets. ### Example of Use: - If you're analyzing economic dominance, trade relationships, or global influence, **nominal GDP** is usually the preferred metric. - If you're comparing living standards, economic productivity, or income distribution, **GDP (PPP)** is more appropriate.

Nice try! PPP is relevant in order to assess the local dimension of the economy. In particular the standard of living in a country. That's why it is called Purchasing Power Parity. However. It is irrelevant to assess to global position of a country. A country doesn't buy or sell anything in PPP. BTW, in this respect, PPP is usually used per capita. Guess which country is not even in the top 40? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita

Poll -- Should Hegseth Resign or Be Fired?
candide replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
So most people who voted no, also voted that they would have voted no if Hillary had done the same thing! What a joke! 🤣 "Lock her up"...🙂 -
Basically, he sold it to himself! 🙂
-
No. It's Alphabet (Google), by far. Meta and Microsoft also fare better than X on this respect.

Joining the single market would be a good way to cut the current red tape. It would also be a relevant response to the current geostrategic threats and aggressive trade environment.

Guess which country is not in the top ten? 🤣 https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/worlds-largest-economies-1694256013-1

They have no reason to bend to what Putin asks. -
Putin Proposes UN-Led Administration in Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Why should Ukraine do what Putin wants? It is a sovereign country with democratic institutions, an elected government and a working parliament, in accordance with Ukrainian laws. -

More made up numbers from you!

It looks like it's Russia sabotaging Trump's efforts. Which country is stalling the cease fire agreement already approved by Ukraine? Russia knows Trump is weak and that there will never be any "devastating consequences"!

Denmark likely underinvested. However, there has never been any opposition to the U.S. investing more in Greenland. There's been a partnership between Greenland/Denmark and the U.S. for 20 years already. Nothing prevented the U.S. from investing more than it did. U.S. mining companies are already present. https://dk.usembassy.gov/u-s-greenland-joint-committee-statement-october-25-2024/ About defense issues, Greenland and Denmark are part of NATO and there is already a U.S. base. This base's location is de facto locking access to the Northwest passage. I am not aware of any proposal to extend U.S. presence in Greenland having been rejected. Of course, Trump is lying about China and Russia. China has been banned from any infrastructure project since 2018, and an FDI act has been voted to control foreign investment in infrastructure, energy and minerals. Russia is not interested in Greenland because it already controls the Northeast route.

Your imaginary mathematical method you are not able to explain....

Luckily, Trump and Vance are de facto helping to contain far-right parties in Europe, as they are now criticized for the sympathy previously shown for Trump and Russia.......🙂

B.s.! You just showed your complete ignorance about how the EU works! 🤣

It seems that Russian propaganda is rather effective....🙂
