Yet that percentage has been shrinking for quite some time. I expect Texas to overtake them in the next decade unless they make some dramatic changes in their voting profile.

This is dumb. If California broke away from the United States tomorrow and floated out into the pacific they’d be the 5th largest economy in the world not attached to the US.


In this scenario California would presumably no longer be connected to the rest of the USA, which would require the USA to set up new ports. About 75% of the California economy is imports, so this would be devastating for them.

Note also in your own graph that the most productive region in the country is the Southeast.

California is by far the richest state in America, sure their citizens bear the brunt of it with the taxes and all but when a disaster happens in the south, Tornado, Hurricane whatever.

California is mostly to thank for building is back.


100% incorrect. Just totally wrong. Shows a complete misunderstanding of the world.

Tennessee is exporting Nico and importing In-N-Out this year. Net gain, obviously

I'm honestly surprised they haven't tried to ban In-N-Out in California yet, since it's owned by devout Christians who print Bible verses on their take out items.

And for those who may have missed it, UCLA hired Vinnie Sunseri's brother, who was co-offensive coordinator and QB coach for Indiana last year, as their OC so they're trying to get a little serious.


Tino is one of the guys I have marked to be one of the next hotshot offensive HCs. Did the entry coaching jobs at Vols/FSU/Bama before Cignetti took him under his wing the past few years. AFAIK he has never been in charge of any play calling though, so this is really his first chance to prove himself.

Not the worst fit for Nico coaching wise, but UCLA has a complete shite surrounding cast and they are probably the lesser talented roster in ~8 of the teams they play this year.

It doesn't help that they have a road game with UNLV as one of their cupcake games, who the frick travels to G5 schools

I dont see how Nico will possibly be able to go pro after this year, I wouldnt be shocked to see him in the transfer portal again this winter

What does that matter? If he is making less money in an area with more taxation and a higher standard of living then he is taking an even steeper paycut than the difference of the offers.

Sooooo you're admitting the fact that California pumps the most money into the American economy currently. Yes, Texas is second.

What would be more appropriate would be for him to pay a school money to come to their school for the privilege of playing football.

1/3 of all welfare recipients in America are from California despite it only having 12% of the population.

California is has 3rd world inequality and the average person has a pretty low material living standard in California.

It's an awful state that is bleeding population and businesses. Without foreign immigration it would be even worse.

California is one of 3 payer states that pay more to the US government than it gets in relief dollars.

He wanted to continue to play in a 100k capacity venue. Only difference is, this one will be mostly empty.

So are you claiming that California's state income tax or its general shift to the far left are responsible for is GDP rank? It's honestly a bizarre thing for a lefty to even brag about, are you just from California?
