Bigger: California or Germany?

Featured Replies

The US state of California is projected to pass Germany to register the world's 4th-biggest economy. Which one is bigger and more impactful overall?

Cali because Germany should have never been this close to begin with. sad!

Had no idea Cali was that rich. Well Gerta should work harder!

California has the same GDP with half the population so Cali >

 

Of course California has the rest of the US market attached and intertwined in a way that the EU can't replicate (no matter how hard it tries), and that must be considered, but California doing the same $3.8-4T that Germany is doing with half the population is astounding. 

Germany’s been on a decline ever since WW2 ended, while California only grows stronger.

 

But both California and Germany keep the US and EU afloat, respectively. 

Germany is bigger, better, more impactful, prettier, more history…

For all the GDP Cali still has huge issues with homeless people, no free college no universal Healthcare, nothing to be boasting about :rip:

Yeah GDP is a clumsy metric that doesn’t reflect what it’s like to actually live in the country. The average German citizen is a lot better off than the average Californian.

Have you ever been to East Germany? Have you ever been to S*xony? These are the German equivalent of poor ignorant red states.  

Germany.

 

Better quality of life.

More respect for their citizens rights.

Better urban planing.

Better infrastructure.

Functioning public transport.

Less droughts & forest fires.

Free education.

Worker rights.

Richer history.

Universal healthcare.

Better work culture.

Less homeless.

Less crime.

 

 

 

 

 

California is riddled with drugs and homeless people for being so supposedly rich.

 

Also workers there are basically semi-slaves with noe worker rights.

 

Just because a tiny percent of people living there are super rich doesn't mean the whole state is well off. That's just another dystopia like Dubai, Qatar etc
