The CEO at Euro Exim Bank Ltd. got economists thinking when he said:
“A cyclist is a disaster for a country's economy. He does not buy a car and does not take a car loan. Does not buy car insurance. Does not buy fuel. Does not send his car for servicing and repairs. Does not use paid parking. Does not become obese.
Yes - and he stays well, damn it!!
Healthy people are not needed for an economy. They do not buy drugs. They do not go to hospitals and doctors. They add nothing to a country's GDP.
On the contrary, every new McDonalds outlet creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 weight-loss experts apart from people working in McDonalds outlets.
Walking is even worse. Those people do not even buy a bicycle..

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Thinking he's an idiot? What does the CEO think that cyclist is going to do with his money if he doesn't buy a car etc? Bury it in their yard? Of course not, it's going to get spent. Spending drives the economy. And the idea that sick people are good for the economy is so stupid it's not even worth refuting. I'm guessing this is some sort of joke post?
