So no more than a gimmick then; too bad. Joel Send a noteboard - 16/09/2011 07:56:06 PM
Texas comes in at 1.3T which puts it between Spain and Australia at 13th place. Still not bad considering Spain is sort of a first world nation and Texas has just a little more than half Spain's population.

Looking at THAT list the difference between a number of states (including NY and TX) is close enough to negligible that the same country is shown as equivalent to all of them. Though I have to say I'm a bit skeptical of the idea that the nominal and PPP per capita GDP of LA (particularly post-Katrina) is equal to that of the US.

Aren't there about 150 times as many people in bangladesh as in delaware? jh - 15/09/2011 09:19:01 PM 604 Views
that, and how do banks affect GDP? LadyLorraine - 15/09/2011 09:37:49 PM 484 Views
The services banks provide stimulate economic growth. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:40:11 PM 472 Views
Not the money that belongs to others, but Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 09:53:05 PM 571 Views
Closer to 190 times as many, actually. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:37:53 PM 531 Views
my backyard is bigger than Delaware and has more people in when I have a barbecue random thoughts - 15/09/2011 09:47:20 PM 609 Views
Erm. Nate - 15/09/2011 09:55:08 PM 559 Views
Yeah, I don't see how those two figures are even similar tbh. *NM* Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 10:00:30 PM 190 Views
Still a huge enough difference to make you wonder about that map, though... Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:00:40 PM 559 Views
yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B random thoughts - 15/09/2011 10:08:24 PM 568 Views
That's exactly what it is, yes. *NM* Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:56 PM 275 Views
Sudan would definitely be closer. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:21:00 PM 650 Views

Re: yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B Isaac - 15/09/2011 10:22:27 PM 491 Views
There's a flip side to that, too, though. Joel - 16/09/2011 04:31:06 PM 598 Views
I'd rather not have a political debate on the subject Isaac - 16/09/2011 05:51:50 PM 570 Views
I wasn't trying to make it political, honest. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:00:34 PM 538 Views
As Legolas says, that is essentially what PPP GDP is, and why I and others prefer it. Joel - 16/09/2011 03:59:41 PM 766 Views
That's not all that similar! Vivien - 16/09/2011 12:43:10 AM 560 Views
Erm, nevermind. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:05:13 PM 532 Views
Hmm. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:10:55 PM 612 Views
Yeah, I started out by confusing Delaware with Rhode Island and it went from there. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:09 PM 628 Views
I noticed the edit thing a while back Stephen - 15/09/2011 10:57:01 PM 429 Views
Yeah, think it's pretty much always been that way. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:55:03 PM 496 Views
