California is the best state in the union...it's the locomotive of the economy. All those who say the opposite deep down know that.
Google, Amazon, Tesla , Boeing, silicone valley, spaceX, agriculture, wine, 13% of the eonomy, created most jobs in the nation,
companies are based in California. Two of them -- Alphabet and Facebook -- were conceived in the past 18 years. San Francisco-based Wells Fargo, the world's largest bank by market capitalization, routinely outperforms any of its peers from Wall Street.
California produces almost all of the country's almonds, apricots, dates, figs, kiwifruit, nectarines, olives, pistachios, prunes and walnuts among dozens of crops that make it No. 1 in the U.S., with an equivalent GDP from agriculture, forestry and hunting totaling more than $37.7 billion, dwarfing No. 2 Iowa's $12.1 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. No state comes close to California in manufacturing totaling $255.6 billion. Texas is next with $239.1 billion. The trailing 12-month revenue from California technology companies totaled $732 billion, or 53 percent of all tech revenues in the U.S.
Although I'm not a native Californian, I couldn't succeed as good and as fast anywhere else in the US, let alone ina regressive state.
So to the haters, I say shut up and be thankful California is part of the US, otherwise America would look like an ex Soviet state, old and rusty.
