63 sats \ 3 replies \ @grayruby 11h \ on: What makes California so economically successful? econ
Great Weather. Beautiful terrain. Hollywood, some of the most amazing and prized real estate in the world, Silicon Valley, huge population that expects to live a privileged life, tourism. Plus it is the main ports for goods flowing from Asia, agriculture.
LA is the second largest city in the US so every major company has to have a presence there.
California has an amazing flywheel effect that all began because of the weather and "sun and surf" lifestyle you mentioned but they are doing a hell of a job of slowing the flywheel down.

Wow, @grayruby, for all the fun I make of Canada, you have such nice words to say about California, haha. I repent and from now on will sing only praises of the Great White North

I love visiting California. Just wouldn't want to live there. Maybe if I was super rich I would live in Newport Beach or Del Mar. I love those areas.
You can continue making fun of Canada. It's one of my favourite past times too.

Objectively to me it is worth a 12% tax to have such amazing weather year round.
It just hurts to see that money squandered so it feels twice as painful, like paying 25%. State DOGE is needed. Newsome is a snake.
