    Guess you have been living under a rock. Strong economy AND strong worker protections, lots of unions, high minimum wage, robust anti-discrimination laws, there’s countless things that make life in California better for low income households.

        Gee, I can’t imagine what motivation you would have to cherry pick stats to try and make California look bad

          Lol, those are bellwether economic statistics for any state, it’s not ‘cherry picking’.

          Capital D democrats love California because it’s a democratic stronghold and a testing ground for all kinds of liberal policy, but it’s also dominated by capital interests. In terms of GDP it represents 1/6th of the entire US economy.

          It’s one of the clearest examples of liberalism’s relationship with capital. Most socialists would not look fondly on California governance.

            Uh huh

            We both know you hate California because all you ever do is attack Democrats. There are dozens of “bellwether economic indicators” and California is doing excellent on most of them. Of course you’d pick a couple of bad ones because you have an agenda.
