SEL and the French’s economy

            In 1983, the GDP was 4,000 (four thousand) billions of francs (indication of the QUID). 

            In 1996, it will be about 7,000 billions.

            GDP: = Gross Domestic Product  

              = Goods and services produced, minus

          the goods and services consumed.

            It is a fundamental indicator for the economy working. It corresponds in a way to your standard of living, which means the mass of money that you bring, minus the expenses that you do. 

            Follow me in this little reasoning. 

            Let us imagine an association SEL regrouping 30 members. 

            Let us take a particularly fierce member: he is working eight hours per day and is exchanging a volume of 100 grains of SEL per hour. The volume of grains in only one day is therefore: 

            100 SEL/hour x 8 hours = 800 SEL. 

            Let us imagine again that he operates 30 days per month (he is a fierce boy, I warned you). Therefore, volume treated per month: 

            800 SEL x 30 days = 24,000 SEL. 

            Always imagine, that he works up during the 12 months of the year, without stopping (it is decidedly a crazy of SEL). His "SEL income" will be yearly:

            24,000 SEL x 12 months = 250,000 SEL (more or less). 

            If thirty people work as hard, this ultra effective SEL group will generate: 

            250,000 SEL x 30 people = 7,500,000 SEL per year (seven millions and an half grains of SEL). 

            If you compare this indication with the GDP 96 of our dear country, you get the following fraction: 

            GDP 96 of France / SEL produced by a small group of 30 persons = 

 7,000 billions / 7,500,000.

            Let us round to: 

7,000,000 millions / 7 millions =   1,000,000

                                                 = 1 million.

            (It would be simpler to present the calculations with exponents, but I wish to distribute at large this work and make it accessible even to the youngsters). 

            It means that one million SEL groups of this type would be necessary to pretend to compete with the national economy. At a rate of 30 persons per group, it supposes that the number of individuals concerned would be: 

            1,000,000 associations x 30 people = 30 millions of people. 

            This number corresponds to half of the population of France.

            We took the example of a particularly active SEL group. Actually, our poor members start rather timorously and are not ready to reach these astronomical scores. 

            One can easily see that SEL is a drop of water in the ocean compare to the economy of the country. It will flow out much water under the bridges before the destabilization of our economic system by SEL’s activities.

            Therefore, let's be realistic: the Minister of the Economy and Ministry of Finance won't come to ask you for accounts because on February 26^th, 1997 your friend member n° 10 did a plumbing repair for which you have been debited of 40 grains of SEL whereas the craftsman Thingamajig would have invoiced this work 700 francs. 

            France remains a strong country; its citizens are firmly grounded. No question to let half of the population gangrene the economy by SEL actions...
