Cali has a liberal government that taxes the rich and the economy is booming and much of that is from jobs and industry focused on climate change technology.

Kansas cut taxes on the rich and the economy is in the shitter. Kansas is exactly what Republicans want for the US.

If California was its own country it would be the 6th richest country in the world.

Kansas was the grand Republican experiment and it failed worse than Trump trying to do a sit up.

Now they want to walk it back and excuse it.

How well would California be doing if it didn't have the tech industry?

Tax Policy / market focus is the reason why the states are different.

High taxes on rich lead to a much larger economy than tax cuts. Over time, it causes California. Kansas tax policy over time leads to nowhere and causes a redneck poor state with high obesity and low education. Trickle down is just a flat out fucking lie. It's a policy devised so rich people can stop others from breaking out of the peasant mold. It's to separate the elite oligarchy from the rest so that their status becomes unapproachable.

Very well, it has the most diversified economy in the country.

Also there's a reason it has the tech industry and not say, Kansas.

In addition to California, Washington State also has a really large tech industry including some people you may never heard of called Microsoft.

Overwhelmingly liberal. Also doing extremely well.

it is interesting that they're talking about bringing kansas policies to the national level, despite it being a failure
like, I can understand saying "california / nordic countries are a unique situation not able to be transferred to the whole usa" but at least we're looking at success instead of failure

Washington doesn't have as nice weather as California, but it is still beautiful and with moderate temperatures all year.

When I was in LA for E3 the weather was so fucking beautiful I could hardly believe it. Every day was perfect weather.

I'm just being an ass, honestly, you can just look at Kansas between years to see how badly the policy failed. Adding a new state adds new excuses to control for.

How well would state X be doing without natural resource Y?
Why is the tech industry there if it's so bad for business? Is it the state economic policy? Is it their social policies? Weather? A conspiracy to make red staters look stupid? Maybe how well they're doing is just "fake news"? Maybe it's the food trucks man. Or the ocean breeze!
