This has the smell of SleepyStudent.
Nope. The member you are talking about now is IMO not SleepyStudent.

SleepyStudent's alts are actually not that hard to spot. Even among their version updates, they have a consistent style of writing, reasoning and arguments. They also respond in a very similar style when challenged

Try about 25-35 after tipping. Double or triple that if you take woman on a date. I just dropped 33 last night on Ramen and sake
Must have been fancy sake. That's how they get you. These days I usually request high end "aqua"... From the tap. I blow bubbles in it to pretend I'm drinking sparking water... but only if I feel festive.

I wasn't clear. Didn't mean to speculate that HighGround is an alt account of SleepyStudent. I was trying to point out that they have some views in common on American economics.

*Sigh*, I'm just going to be blunt here. He isn't. This accusation was brought up before, and we verified that he isn't via a meticulous process. Just because someone has a different perspective than that of you doesn't mean he is a troll.
It was a slip in the wording of that repsonse of mine. I was trying to point out that they share some views on American economics.

There are ways to cook the book a bit in gdp, but real sustained economical ability comes from productive ability not having finished goods. That is why China is more than ok with using dollar, since they just offload the dollars to third world in exchange for gains in productive ability.

US is giving up on productive ability to push temporarily their gdp higher. This isn't healthy and isn't gonna let them catch up with China.

They might have better growth (at the cost of) than EU, but they need much more than that to catch China.
