Turns out it's the 5th economy in the world, if it were its own country:

https://fortune.com/2018/05/05/california-fifth-biggest-economy-passes-united-kingdom/

If the state with its 39.5 million people was an independent country, it would have the fifth largest economy in the world, according to new federal figured released on Friday just surpassing the United Kingdom, which has a population of 65.6 million.

Californias economy of $2.7 trillion sits behind the United States, China, Japan and Germany. Californias large economy is attributed to its thriving tech sector and Hollywood, according to the Associated Press. It has 12% of the U.S. population, but has contributed 16% of total job growth between 2012 and 2017.


Also, LOL Texas (when compared to CA):

Other top ranking states include Texas, in the 11th spot worldwide with an economy of $1.7 trillion

Nah.

Texas, as well as many red states take advantage that hard working blue states like CA and NY provide more to the country in taxes than they take so they charge very low taxes.

They move because of the low taxes. But if all states followed the low taxes, low government, no education, no services philosophy of states like TX or MS, we'd be 3rd world.

Any state that has had both Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger for a governor can't be entirely terrible.

Neither of those need to be in California.

But there is a reason people are drawn to the California coast. It's a symbiotic relationship in every way.
