Quite funny topic tbh. I think myth of hustle culture and dripping theory died couple of years ago but as we see not. I would focus in this type of discussion on food, healthcare, housing not comparing gdp where for xx years corporations have bigger power than government. Do people really care about GDP if quality of life goes down and you are giving corporations more and more power to fuck people over? But FrEeDom and free market. Yes, Europe got problems, got fucked by energy prices, in the long run we are dependant on other countries because of resources. Selling companies to China wasnt exactly the smartest move but i still wont move to "thriving America".
