I have seen this one some time ago, but I thought it's joke. Can someone confirm it's for real and it wasn't meant to be joke? Because if it's real, guy should be shot on spot, even though purely from economic perspective, he's probably right, but I guess everything can't really be seen purely with such calculations.
But considering he's suppose to be from EU, where we have fully paid sick leave, following is completely wrong too:
"Healthy people are neither needed nor useful for the economy. They don’t buy medicine. They do not go to hospitals or doctors. Nothing is added to the country’s GDP."
Fact is, that healthy people are the one working. They might not buy medicime or go to hospitals, but they build houses, they work in factories, internet is running because of them and they in general create way more GDP then those on fully paid sick leave and their doctors.
Because of nonsenses like this, I though all this is joke.
