California Threatens Red States

[Weatherman2020]

The entertainment capital of the world?????? LA has the second highest GDP of any city in the USA, second only to New York, in both population and GDP.

Los Angeles metro area GDP by industry U.S. 2022 | Statista

This graph shows the GDP of the Los Angeles metro area in 2022, by industry.

But even though LA ranks 2nd in GDP, it ranks #11 in per capital income, meaning that the money is being retained by the highest income earners and doesn't "trickle down" to the working people.

Thank Allah for the porn industry!

it's California who is folding, tard.

You finally got something right, but a legitimate moderator would refrain from vulgar name calling.

California rocks! We are the best state in the country!

 

[BluesLegend]

At the rate people are fleeing California they become the first state to revert back to a territory with no representatives in government.

 

[BluesLegend]

If California were a country

We would have stomped the shit out of it with our military and took it over

To which country do you belong? This one has better.

California is #20 in education, #29 in economy, #6 in heathcare, #34 in infrastructure, so none of what you've posted is true.

Keep posting, you prove how worthless what you say really is with every unsourced and unverified lie you vomit up.

Why all the ghettos? I do not understand. Ghetto after ghetto after ghetto in rich Prog areas.

You could not pay me to go to California. (I was born there) with all the Liberal shannigans and the drugs and beautiful cities like San Fransisco now a cesspool of crime and depraved people who are allowed to use drugs in "open air drug dens" thanks Gavon!

Fuck California(ns)

Red states always fold when money is involved. The blue states have it, the red states rely on that blue state money.

Correction. Democrats in red states rely on that blue state money. A bit of nuance that the left still hasn't figured out.

Tax breaks for billionaires - not so much.

Trump capped the SALT deduction at 10k/yr. Rich Democrats went bonkers because they could no longer pass their ridiculously high property tax rates off to the rest of us by writing it off their federal income taxes. Do some research.

California is pure shit. It’s too bad because there are some beautiful places there. But the people generally are shit.

It has a lot to offer until the liberals took over

Newsom and California had the worst outcome for covid in the nation next to NYC..... and the most draconian response to it....
Hair gel blew it....

And he is the one likely to be the nominee once Biden loses it completely. No wonder Democrats are in such a panic and throwing all the ridiculous indictments at Trump.

The drive up the coast is gorgeous. And it’s really the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas where the people are shit.

 

[Billo_Really]

One must be in a state of intoxication to consider California the best state in the country. It’s a state that doesn’t even have enough water for its citizens.

For its southern citizens?

 

[Billo_Really]

They're waiting for Taylor Swift tickets!

#1 in:
People leaving
Open human sewers
Taxes
Homeless towns
Drug needles on beaches
Crime
Grid locked transportation
Gas prices
Lack of reliable electricity
Lack of reliable drinking water

That was harsh!

California is #6 with the highest per capita income in the USA. In fact, all of the states in the top 10 for income are Democrat lead states. 10 of the bottom 11 states in per capita income, are governed by Republicans. New Mexico is the only D state in the bottom 10.

Tax rates are no indicators of quality of life in these states either. All of the states in the bottom 10 except New Mexico, have strict abortion bans, no Medicaid Expansion, and many have "right to work" laws. All are "taker" states - that is they pay less in federal taxes than they receive in federal social spending.

So please, bitch, don't tell me about tax rates - tell me what you're doing with those tax dollars. Tell me about the quality of the schools, roads, libraries, recreational facilities. If you're re-investing in your infrastructure and your people, I'm all for it. Tax breaks for billionaires - not so much.

Canadians don't know about cost of living. Of course you don't. One day you'll be a real country. That day is far off.

My daughter lives in the middle of the Bay Area and can't go for a walk on the main street without her husband because it's not safe. Yeah, gimme some of that leftist love, baby!

Fucking Nazi racist
