As a Californian I must say this:
You guys, specially all you tumblr faggots, are all being retarded. See California could be the money machine that it was in the past because of its strong industries and population. Other more rural states can’t compete, mainly because they don’t have the population or the industries or even any major cities that could compete with California’s smallest major city.
The problem?
California’s industries are not based on its natural resources which are scarce in California, don’t even get me started on the lack of water.
You know what else sucks about California? It’s education. It is one of the stupidest states when it comes to education. Sure California has amazing Universities but so do many US States, without these college educated minds California can’t run its tech or entertainment industry. California also needs skilled migrants from around the world (not unskilled illegals) to run these industries many of whom may land on another state’s shores and be educated there as well, California needs the New England-educated Chinese kid or the country bumpkin heartland kid (plenty of heartland states have much better public education than Cali). An intelligent ppl and a land full of riches is what you need for a healthy nation, Cali has neither. Texas shares in these issues but where Texas comes out Strong is in its natural resources which they are swimming in, not only that but Texas is a pro-business state, Cali is not. That wasn’t the case in the past. California was once an affordable pro-business conservative state. All these faggots sucking Cali’s dick forget that it used to swing to the right on elections. It was also pro-business which is healthy for a state. It is now an expensive, anti-business state. What worries me is that more people are leaving Cali than coming in, and the industries might follow them....basically another Detroit
