Alabama, US and Bavaria, Germany also have a similar GDP per capita. You would simply be insane to think Alabama was in any way wealthier than Bavaria. This isn't me having a go at the US, this is me having a go at GDP.
- Ray20 9mo ago> You would simply be insane to think Alabama was in any way wealthier than Bavaria. Is it accurate? Europe has a fairly low standard of living compared to America, but their totalitarian governments are quite effective at silencing all dissent.
- MandieD 9mo agoYes, life in Bavaria, working in manufacturing, is nothing but miserable oppression. Horrible 35 hour work week. Wretched 6 weeks of vacation. Ruinously expensive 500 EUR/month daycare. The prospect of having to pay a couple hundred Euros per semester when my child reaches university. The good wine is now 8 EUR/bottle. Suffering and deprivation. Do not come here, I beg of you. Save yourself. I had to use extraordinary means to get this message out.
- ozozozd 9mo agoThat’s exactly what an oppressive government would have their citizens say, fellow Bavarian! /s
- zeroonetwothree 9mo agoBavaria is one of the wealthiest regions in Germany and Alabama is one of the poorest US states. So it's not really a great comparison. Also GDP per capita doesn't have that much to do with "wealth". It's a good proxy for income though. So I'm not sure what you are claiming here exactly.
