Well those elevated train tracks in that picture aren't in San Francisco. That's BART and in SF it's all underground. That's more likely Oakland not San Francisco.

For the record, that was an incorrect comparison because even using "apples to apples" comparisons China grew more on our last meeting.
That was why he resorted to "China isn't winning hard enough"
For someone who would lie this blatantly, how can you believe anything he said?
Let me bust out the actual growth rate percentages. *Hong Kong and Macau excluded from China figures.
Quarter to Quarter:
| 2019 Q3 | 2019 Q4 | 2020 Q1 | 2020 Q2 | 2020 Q3 | 2020 Q4 | 2021 Q1 | 2021 Q2 | 2021 Q3 | 2021 Q4 | 2022 Q1 | 2022 Q2 | |
| China | 1.2% | 1.5% | -10.5% | 11.6% | 3.4% | 2.6% | 0.3% | 1.3% | 0.7% | 1.5% | 1.4% | -2.6% |
| US | 2.8% | 1.9% | -5.1% | -31.2% | 33.8% | 4.5% | 6.3% | 6.7% | 2.3% | 6.9% | -1.6% | -0.9% |
Year over Year:
| 2019 Q3 | 2019 Q4 | 2020 Q1 | 2020 Q2 | 2020 Q3 | 2020 Q4 | 2021 Q1 | 2021 Q2 | 2021 Q3 | 2021 Q4 | 2022 Q1 | 2022 Q2 | |
| China | 5.9% | 5.8% | -6.8% | 3.2% | 4.9% | 6.5% | 18.3% | 7.9% | 4.9% | 4.0% | 4.8% | 0.4% |
| US | 2.3% | 2.6% | 0.6% | -9.1% | -2.9% | -2.3% | 0.5% | 12.2% | 4.9% | 5.5% | 3.5% | 1.6% |
Annual Change in GDP:
| 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | |
| China | 6% | 2.2% | 8.1% |
| US | 2.29% | -3.4% | 5.67% |
This thread is about to have 15 pages of worthless propaganda and vile from sleepy. Someone ping the appropriate mods to take care of him before this becomes unreadable again.

That's not San Francisco where Pelosi represents. Why not show pictures of New York homeless as San Francisco? Besides the reason why there are so many homeless in California is because red states buy homeless in their states one-way bus tickets to San Francisco and Los Angeles. The city where I live is rural but a lot of homeless downtown. Why so many when there's not a lot of traffic nor major businesses where the homeless can't forage in dumpsters or panhandle? It's because there's a rich city over five miles away after you pass a reservoir and woods where the homeless do go because they're rich. Their police gather up the homeless in their town and drive them over to the city where I live and drop them off. The only avenue between is a two-lane road with no sidewalk nor public transportation.
GDP differential is a real thing, just not what you use it as.
A hallmark of American gas stations is that they never close, certaintly not afternoon on a bright Saturday.....
This was taken by me couple minutes ago...
The pumps werent working either....

So you say we should annualize the quarter over quarter figures for China:
| 2019 Q3 | 2019 Q4 | 2020 Q1 | 2020 Q2 | 2020 Q3 | 2020 Q4 | 2021 Q1 | 2021 Q2 | 2021 Q3 | 2021 Q4 | 2022 Q1 | 2022 Q2 | |
| China | 4.88% | 6.13% | -35.83% | 55.11% | 14.30% | 10.81% | 1.20% | 5.30% | 2.83% | 6.13% | 5.72% | -10.00% |
So how does this help your overall argument besides cherry picking a single quarter of data? You could've done the same argument in 2020 Q1 (which you did as SleepyStudent). Conversely I could cherry pick 2020 Q2 or 2022 Q1 and predict the exact opposite conclusion as you did.
Well why don't we just argue with the Year over Year data instead or the annual percentage change in GDP? For the annual percentage change in GDP the Chinese GDP growth rate is historically faster. Isn't this when you usually start pulling out the "fake statistics" card?
Dam.. that was actually very fast! Goodbye and see you again in your new iteration in a few months
