[–] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social -1 points 1 week ago* (1 child) Sounds like that would be tough to do when hypothetically not being part of the United States Also, either way, Connecticut is still a measly 1% contribution to the US GDP permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AnchoriteMagus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 child) So, just to put this in perspective, since you love your percentages, the New England contribution to the US GDP is 5%. That's approximately 2 trillion dollars. The entire Canadian GDP is 2.51 trillion. Adding New England would almost double the Canadian GDP. Still unappealing? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 0 points 1 week ago (1 child) I bet it would be appealing for Canada, but thats not my point. My point is calling 1/20th of the US GDP a “massive portion” is hilariously delusional, and its indicative of how out of touch New Englanders are that they think they are that essential to the country. A nickel isnt a “massive portion” of a dollar. Its barely anything by comparison. Canada would double its GDP and the US GDP would hardly blink twice permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AnchoriteMagus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago Please point out anywhere in this thread where I said "a massive portion".
