The reign of quantity is an inherently self-destructive mindset that tears at the foundations of civilization and only functions to legitimize technocratic rule. Line go up doesn't inherently translate to better material conditions for the populace; it means line go up.

But the vast majority of the time, strong markets and rising GDP do translate to better conditions for the population.
Are there any countries with strong financial markets and rising GDP where things have gotten worse for the people, disregarding China's zero covid power trip?
Most of the west, where real purchasing power has been decreasing for some time. When at one time a lowly laborer could afford a decent home, many people are huddled in tiny apartments downing bottles of anti-depressants. GDP is the absolutely worst metric. It goes up when governments print money, which typically spurs asset inflation.
The difference being that the EU could salvage the situation because theirs is caused by the malevolence of a leader, while Hungary's is caused by obvious stupidity.

Because even the dumpster fire that is the EU pays less for food than Hungary.
"Line goes up" is the most important metric for any country. If you prioritize anything else, the standard of life craters.

Housing prices increase with demand, demand rises as the population grows. Natalist policies like Hungary's will make it worse, not better.
Majority of anti-depressant users are women getting high off them, which makes that irrelevant.
What are 'better conditions'?
Would you rather live in the United Femdom with a slightly higher GDP or in a country that is not a 'feminist despotism'?
He is being smard again. For some reason he hates us more than countries with legit feminazi laws, lol.
Neither. One is falling apart because of poor economics and one is falling apart because of a woman's power trip.

And yet Hungarians dont have to worry about trucks of peace.
Maybe the dumbest thing you’ve ever said, and that bar is orbiting the moon.
I don't think so. Imagine having a worse economy than the countries killing themselves.
