I’m for Wales becoming the 51st state.
For the Corgis!
Fun, or maybe not so fun, facts: the GDP of Great Britain ($2.81 trillion as of 2019) is slightly less than that of California ($2.97 trillion) but its per capita GDP ($46,000) is lower than that of Mississippi ($47,000). If the UK or any of its components (England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland) became US states they would be relatively poor states.
I assume this is tongue in cheek.
Low skill, low wage, low productivity mode in Britain along with very low levels of investment. The Pound hasn’t taken a hit though and remains strong. Not all *doom and gloom* in Britain. Thank God for the rest of us.
We can barely govern ourselves.
