This comparison of the large Western European economies (most frequently Germany) to America's poorest state based on GDP-per-capita is all the rage on the US right at the moment.

It's an eye-catcher, but obviously fallacious - the usual counter has been to point out the life expectancy difference of 10+ years.

Not that most people are particularly interested in nuance, smh
