NEW: California is now the FOURTH largest economy in the world.
Last year, the Golden State's GDP topped $4.1T — surpassing Japan ($4.02T) and behind only Germany ($4.65T), China ($18.74T), and the entire U.S. ($29.18T).

And even aside from the unhoused, housing is too damn expensive.
So do you actually have any realistic suggestions?
Even with Texas GDP at $2.7T in 2024, my back of the napkin math tells me that Democratic governed U.S. States control the majority of the $29T U.S. economy?
It's closer to the truth to say 49 third world countries and California doing it...
Y'all should seriously consider secession. At least threaten it seriously enough to scare DC shitless.
Texas voted for secession multiple times over the past 15 years. When Does California take the Bear by the Ears and get on with it?
We should have a special California employment work visa and be exempt from Trump's destructive and damaging tariffs.
Freedom from tariffs. Freedom from Trump. Freedom from MAGA. That's real freedom.
Divest from TSLA!
Divest from El Salvador!

For those that are on the fence the proposed ballot measure is to figure out how we could leave the US and the economic impact. There’s no commitment to leave.
oh nm, i figured it out - you probably save a lot of money using prison slave labor to fight fires & what not
Donor be complicit in the destruction of america by the MAGA GOP.

Here's the shipping activity in the Pacific now. The bulk of those vessels would have been spread across CA ports in the past.
That combined with the inability to figure out politically how to rewrite a poorly written tax limiting referendum passed in 1978.
Proposition 13.

We've run two polls like this already, so it's 💰 well spent! 🙂 See https://ic.institute/poll.
We have the 💰 to solve California's problems. What we don't have is control over our own tax dollars—about half the taxes we pay go to the federal government.
See https://ic.institute/donor-state.
Make that make sense
Everyone look at https://www.californianational.party, please. We have a vision for CA that transcends the predictable US descent into fascism every 4 years... Independence. #FreeTheBear #LiberateCalifornia #Calexit

I don't want my hard earned tax dollars funding texas denying women healthcare! Why did they need so much money? WHAT are they using it FOR???
I thought we did a pretty good job in the 7th paragraph of https://ic.institute/texas-v-what, but your version takes the cake! 🍰
See https://ic.institute/price-of-fear.
CA = 14% of total USA
USA non CA is = 25.08T
USA all = 10.44T above China (55.7%)
USA non CA 6.33T over China (35.7%)
CA makes up 20% of the US advantage over China
And China is a major trade partner with CA
No trade with China will adversely affect USA
Could America sustain itself without California? As long as they keep borrowing money!
I've been commenting for months that California sounded cede from the union, and only last week realised that you're already on it 😊
