Yes, I was astonished to learn that GDP per capita the UK is lower than any US state except Mississippi. I think Europe seems richer than it is because the things they do spend money on, like roads, tend to be visible.

Gdp/capita ppp Uk is 48k. 67k for USA. Mississippi is probably around 50% Usa average. So it looks like UK > MI. I’m not sure I see much of a point of looking at these stats. Never been to Mississippi but I’ve been to places like rural Arkansas etc Europe at least seems better.
