“ It’s simply assumed, by most sides of the political spectrum, that the growth of ‘real’ GDP is what constitutes economic progress.
We think this is a mistake. When socialists and the Left use ‘real’ GDP as a measure of progress, or even as a quantity of empirical analysis, they are implicitly buying into the very capitalist paradigm that they otherwise reject. Let us explain.”
Evergreen and worth the read.

Why We Should Abandon Real GDP As A Measure of Economic Activity – Economics from the Top Down
For all that it purports to say, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fails to explain anything relevant about the world.Blair Fix (Economics from the Top Down)
“ According to some of the dominant interpretations of neoclassical theory, the price of a commodity reveals the utility (i.e. pleasure) that a consumer derives from it. ”
So on the price goes up, a product’s utility goes up *by definition*.
But with inflation, all prices are going up, suggesting that everything is always becoming better. @pluralistic

The ruling Inuit Ataqatigiit party & its partner Siumut, which also seek slow path towards independence, won 36% of votes.
“Trump's vocal interest has shaken up status quo, & coupled with the growing pride of the Indigenous people in their Inuit culture, put independence front and centre in the election…. "But I think the fear of the U.S. imperialist approach has lately become bigger than the anger towards Denmark”..

Ok, giving up for now. I'll check how long I need the beam to be for the sawmill foundation and then I'll cut it into parts.
It's just too heavy to pull from the soft soil there. Dug over half the yard with the wheels. Broke off the concrete crown with the chain. Even fetched the stone sled from the forest and winched it onto that (actually winched the sled under the beam, because beam don't move). Even with that it won't budge more than a few mm at a time.

@mcSlibinas Lever bent. 25mm steel rod. But it's not the problem anyways. Friction of 1.1 ton beam on garden soil higher than wheel traction is the problem.
Solution is angle grinder 😀
