"Unless, of course, the measure was good to begin with - such as cash or bars of gold."

IMHO this is a bad measure, its how you end up poluting oand poisoning etc. fro profit no?



That's because these are also just proxy metrics for "net value provided to society", and heavily distorted at that.


I'd say highlighting environmental issues doesn't make it a bad metric

It highlights missing rules/regulations


Gosh, what a tangential poke - gold bad because cyanide, argument invalid because said gold. Fine, exclude gold from the argument and just use cash / e-transfer.
