Spain qualifies as a poor country? Damn...

The amazing part of Spain being a poor country is that all Arab countries combined have a lower GDP than Spain.

The Bay Area has a larger GDP than the country of Mexico.

That's not true.

Spain: $1.23 trillion

Saudi Arabia: $639b, UAE: $371b, Egypt: $332b

Those three combined are larger than Spain's economy.

Then you also have Iraq: $167b, Algeria: $160b Qatar: $156b, Morocco: $103b, Sudan $94b, etc.

Where are you getting those numbers? Bay Area: $758.5B, Mexico $1,046B

I'm in Spain, and I know a lot of local Snapchat users. Not sure what he's on about.
