Their gdp being 3.07 trillion less

Move on.

Looks like for the whole UK, after accounting for the difference in currency values, would put the UK in the bottom 10 of states in average yearly income

I would assume Britain is higher

If britian were a state, it would be poorer than Mississippi. that fact continues to amaze me

Uh, by what measure?

---

Mississippi median income: ~$25,000 (US).

UK median income: ~$38,000 (US).

Mississippi GDP - $104 billion
UK GDP - $3.2 trillion

(Edit: For the record, I’m agreeing that it’s absurd to say the UK is poorer than Mississippi. I just didn’t think that needed to be explicitly stated when I’m obviously showing the case.)

Do you have a few fake teeth?

Also a great period for early gunpowder warfare.

I may make a thread about it soon.

Wapo: Britain poorer than Alabama, slightly ahead of Mississippi

Perhaps we can all just agree that it’s not fun being the 2 states all the poor countries in the world are compared to.

Edit: “In our global news tonight: Iceland faces a severe economic recession. The per capita GDP dropped significantly down to $36,000, which brings it below Alabama…but slightly above Mississippi.”

I went to the Grant Museum of Zoology in January of 2020. It’s an amazing museum that exhibits the specimens catalogued by British zoologists. When you walked in the front door the had a video playing of various folks of varying ethnicities apologizing for the murder of the animals in the museum. They are just as woke as folks in the US.
