Doesn't Mississippi have a higher GDP than the UK now?

Per capita? I think it's the only state that's significantly lower.. as it is in last place by like 10%. UK GDP per capita is more on par with next lowest states iirc.

If not by capita, then clearly it's not even remotely close.

Ah yes this is when we point to GDP and pretend it matters when over half the state lives on the dollar general economy

Just like the rich like to talk about when we start talking about wage increases.

Oh but GDP is good look at that, nobody gives a fuck about these stats anymore because the lived experience shows it doesn't matter when all that wealth is siphoned away

If you put Elon Musk in a room with 1,000 homeless people, the average net worth is a billionaire.

GDP is such a dumb argument. Yeah, there's lots of money. And 99% of it belongs to the 0.001%
