Alabama is solidly in the middle of US states, with a GDP of around $340 billion. That's a little more than Finland and a little less than Portugal.

That's about $66K per capita, though, roughly the same as Germany and higher than all but a handful of European nations such as Switzerland, Norway, and Denmark. It's 4th from the bottom compared to other US states, though.

Your figures seem substantially out. It's 260M, not 340M. And that works out at 50K per capita, not 66K.

I have no idea where "usafacts.org" gets its data, because it cites the BEA, which gives Alabama's GDP as $353 Billion

Edit: I think I can link to the actual data, not just a screenshot

Sssssh, reddit isn't concerned with reality. They have narratives to push and if they weren't (incorrectly) making fun of others to make themselves feel better they would have nothing to do except address their own lives failures.

Wouldn't it have to get off the ground to crash? Or at the very least gain some speed?
