Despite the health of the California economy compared to most states, if you want to improve the focus needs to be on the debtor States who contribute less money to the Fed's than they put in. End that welfare, going mostly to Red States, so that all the money States send out comes back as neutral and California can address all its other issues.

GDP is not economy, Kewpie. More and more cities in the SDTC are bankrupt, Kewpie. The SDTC itself is headed in the same direction.California GDP:

At least 18% (the number is probably higher now...using latest published figures) of households in the SDTC are on welfare and/or food stamps.
The SOTNY is at 16%, another Democrat run territory.
Oregon is at 17%. Democrat run.
Washington is at 13%. Democrat run.
Nevada is at 14%. Democrat run.
New Mexico is at 20%. Democrat run.
Utah is at 6%.
Wyoming is at 6%.
Kansas is at 8%.
Nebraska and South Dakota is at 9%.
North Dakota is at 7%.
Louisana is at 17%, Democrat run.
West Virginia is at 18%. Democrat run.
Now let's talk about the fraud, centered in Democrat run areas: Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, New York, New Orleans.
Or we could talk about the continued rioting, looting, insurrection, organized crime, harboring of illegal aliens, and insurrection by Democrats.

Perhaps his TDS is in an advanced stage.
Tesla moved to Austin years ago and McAffee is either dead or in prison. He married one of his hookers. He was a strange bird.They're leaving too. The loss is slower but happening. Ones that have left include:

Every Company Leaving California: 2020-2025 | Buildremote
Here is the complete list of companies leaving California since 2020. Last updated: August 21, 2025.buildremote.co
They are bailing. All the silicon in Silicon Valley left decades ago. There is no more chip manufacturing in California--hell, there's hardly any manufacturing whatsoever there now--because of the state's onerous environmental regulations make it impossible to make things there. I read stories about companies and how that state treats them and see the state is actively trying to destroy businesses there.
These are two that I recall over the years for the utter stupidity of the state of California:
Progresso Soup had a plant outside Sacramento. It had been there since the 1930's and employed hundreds of people. The state came in and told them they could no longer run their cogeneration electrical plant. The company burned all the food waste products from their manufacturing process to generate electricity to run the plant. Without being able to do that, their costs went up both because now they had to buy the electricity and pay to have the waste hauled to a landfill. That meant they were now operating at a loss. They closed the plant, laid off the entire workforce and moved the operation to a plant in the mid-west.
A company manufacturing fiberglass and aluminum ladders was visited by state regulators who told the company they would have to make millions of dollars in changes to their processes to meet environmental regulations the state was imposing. The owners called all their employees to a meeting on the spot--right then and there--with the state regulators present.
The owners announced that the plant was immediately closed and everybody was laid off. They said the plant was moving to Arizona, and they could only afford to pay for a few key people to make the move. If all the other workers wanted their jobs with the company, they could move to Arizona and the company would gladly keep them on at the new plant.
They had to call the police to come and protect and escort the regulators off the property because the workers were threatening to kill them.
The company is now in Goodyear AZ making the same ladders and selling them in California still.
The US Navy had me make hundreds of shore power cable cradles, this aluminum 'super pallet' to keep tiny amounts of rubber out of waterways in California because of state regulations. I was funded $500,000 to do that. Totally unnecessary.
Those two rectangular boxes are what I was making. They are all aluminum and not cheap.
Palantir - the CEO Karp? Have you ever seen him speak? He's a drug addict and a nut. - that guy is a moonbat, he can move as far the fuck away as he wants.
Which confirms my point, losing three hundred thousand over years, which my post stated, in a State of thirty nine million isn’t exactly breaking the State

California is replacing skilled, blue- and white-collar workers with unskilled immigrants, mostly illegal, for decades now. They have the largest homeless population in the country. Basically, California is slowly becoming a non-productive socialist-welfare state with a rapidly dwindling tax base to support it.

'You are really playing with fire with this one': California billionaires tax ignites, pitting labor unions and voters against tech execs | Fortune
California has more billionaires than any other state — a few hundred, by some estimates. Nearly half its personal income tax revenue is from the top 1%.
As the tax base shrinks, California's Leftist Democrats are casting around for who they can tax more to make up for it. Their latest is a billionaire "wealth tax" that is seeing billionaires fleeing the state to avoid it.

And the thing that cracks one up on demagoguing the supposed “billionaire” tax is that billionaires don’t pay the tax the critics claim, Trump showed us tax is easily to avoid if you have an army of attorneys and accountants. I have been hearing the same regarding New York for decades and personally I can attest the State and NYC is doing fine
Poor anchovies,
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
A normal American would be grateful to California for being such a powerhouse of creating billion dollar companies.
Which got me exploring further. The picture was taken in Mayport, Florida, back in 2018 (link below). Why would US Navy ships in Florida be following California regulations?
The purpose of the power cable crates is not to protect the environment. They have been around for over a century, and they are meant to keep from snagging or wearing the insulation. If the insulation forms bear spots, it will cause electrocution. People will die. That is true in California, but also in Texas, and Florida.
I usually do not comment on misspellings, but Night is claiming to have copied facts from an authoritative source. We have to question whether that authoritative source is that authoritative, or even exists, when they get every possible fact wrong, including the spelling.
Wow, a seemingly good point made based on Gardner's personal expertise... But then I got to thinking about it. The Constitution's Supremacy Claus means that the US Navy can not be regulated by California regulations. It is only under federal regulations.The US Navy had me make hundreds of shore power cable cradles, this aluminum 'super pallet' to keep tiny amounts of rubber out of waterways in California because of state regulations. I was funded $500,000 to do that. Totally unnecessary.

Louisiana(Night misspelled it), and West Virginia are both completely Republican run. Their governors, and both legislative houses are Republican controlled. In West Virginia, Republicans control over 90% of both houses.

That's exactly why they're moving. They can't get quality help.

The USN still complies with California EPA laws. That is a fact.
The picture was illustrative. It was the only one I could find of those cradles. The engineer at Pt. Loma CA that assigned the job order and funding told me what I repeated here.
I repeated what I was told by the engineer doing the project. Most of the ones I built weren't the 16 x 4 foot version seen in the photo but a 13 x 5 foot version with a raised rail height adding one foot.
As I said, I can't make you understand why CA is losing major corporations and billionaires like Bezos and Musk. Perhaps you can call them and ask.
major corporations that left california at DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo. Privacy, Simplified.
My brother is in the Bay area right now on business helping create a competitor to Elon's Starlink. So much intelligence and creativity is concentrated in that state.
CA's not going to miss KB Homes. It's no wonder trump voters pick on CA. They're stupid and can't grasp how much product comes out of the state that equals the world's 5th largest economy.
