Here in Canada we constantly get lambasted because we're "poorer than Alabama!", at least if measured in GDP per capita in USD.

Yeah, I've been to Alabama. The absolute poorest areas of Canada are better than basically 100% of Alabama.

GDP is a myth, especially for largely illusory economies like the US where it's all a shell game of fake money, debt spending and the plutocrats that control almost all of the wealth.
