if california was a country it would have the 7th biggest economy in the entire world. that makes their economy bigger than russia’s and france’s
I wonder if any significant number of Californians would want to make their state a country…
it’d be horrible, considering they have the highest rate of poverty in the united states, super high rates of inequality, and their government can’t even afford summer firefighters on their own. their infrastructure is dilapidated, they lie about how safe their dams are, and so on. i wouldn’t want to live there lmao. it’d be a capitalist hellscape, theres a reason why if california was a nation it would have the 3rd most billionaires in the world that reason is: they hate poor people and prioritize the wealthy.
