When I lived in Germany, they reported quarterly numbers. Q3 Gdp was x% more than Q2's. Reader could annualize in their heads if they wished

Another example. All climate articles use Celsius. Use Fahrenheit if you want to have an impact on Americans. I'm comfortable using Celsius but still react more 4F than to 2C. It's kinda like $6 is more than $5.99.

I totally agree with your on this.
One that kills me (though it's different) is that after every Fed meeting, they report on the Fed funds rate even though almost no interbank lending happens at that rate. They don't report the rate paid on reserves which the Fed actually pays out on trillions.

Totally agree.
In the late 90s, I had a class at NYU taught by Domingo Cavallo while things were still going well for Argentina. He dismissed my suggestion of using the opportunity to float before the eventual crisis came along.

I wonder if there is a way to relate it to population growth as well? ie, a country with 100 million might need less construction than one with 80 million growing 5% per year.

Totally. My recollection of econ showed 2 charts. With and without tariffs. Nobody thought to teach us "and this is what happens if we have a loon making it up on the fly and updating and changing policy randomly and continuously".

I sympathize. But it is funded. Taxes roll in and cover 75% or 80% of spending. We just can't borrow to cover the rest. And most of the rest is stuff we want.
