If Britain were to join the United States, it would be the second-poorest state, behind AL & MS

[Solutrean_Hypothesis]

"Ranking by GDP per capita instead of just GDP means that states with mega-economies such as California, which has the top GDP in the United States (its GDP is also larger than most countries’), was knocked down to 14th place among the states when divided by its more than 38 million residents. Alaska comes in first, with a GDP of more than $59 billion divided by a population of 735,000.

Norway was the top European country on the list, between Massachusetts and New Jersey. Nelson wrote that the United Kingdom’s low ranking showed Britain had “no reason to feel smug” about recent events in Ferguson, Mo."

Discuss, mull over, in your ever upstanding and advanced means by which you do these things on a regular basis.

It's not.

That's just a screen-cap of the bottom of a much longer list.

Yes, not sure how I managed to exclude the link to the article I was mentioning. Pure stupidity on my part.

Obamacare would really go bankrupt paying for all their yellow broken teeth.

I'd pee my pants laughing if Congress ever received such a petition from Londonistan.

Then again, it's not like that's the first time it's been contemplated, from the UK's perspective...

What an interesting thread.

Keep up the good work, Solutrean Hypothesis.

Hey, thanks. Sorry for coming off as a dick in that other thread.

It happens sometimes. With me.
