* E.g., hospital finances are getting hurt because fewer people are getting ravaged by car accidents. (Bad for GDP, good for humans!)

If you invented a car that didn& #39;t get into crashes (hurry up on that, people!), you& #39;ll reduce hospital revenue.

Same with auto body shops, car co& #39;s, etc, because there are fewer crashed cars that need to be repaired or replaced.

If we all permanently stopped crashing our cars and stopped doing a lot of similarly, obviously bad things, GDP would go down but it would be a good thing.
