    Fifth largest to be precise (only noting because it’s even more impressive).

    California also leads the nation as most polluted in several categories. As a nation, California is in the Top 20 most polluted in the world. So what's your point? California also spends more money than most countries, Top 5 to be exact. And they are trying really hard to be the most regulated too and are in the Top 10 most expensive places to live.

    Your first point justifies your last. Their pollution was once a hell of a lot worse and through good regulation have cleaned up their air by a lot.

    If I owned a confetti mfg. and part of my manufacturing process included 10% of my little paper bits to blow all over Jacksonville public property and private property; how long before all hell broke loose and my company was told to clean it up. The same goes for invisible particles in our life support system; just because they are invisible doesn’t give private industry the right to pollute the public and private property; air. I take a zero tolerance on all particles released into our water and air. You found and used it ; it’s composition was x; I expect you to return it exactly the way you found it after your done using it and it should look like x in its composition after the fact.

    Lol, they are already releasing prisoners back onto the streets for a while. That's why you see all of the crime rocketing in California.

    Newsom has a message for you. If you love California that much you should move out there, as should every lib on here. The weather is amazing, the women are beautiful and the state is beautiful. What are you waiting for? The lib utopia awaits you guys.

    CDS is real. Well, we wouldn’t have to spend as much if we didn’t have to bail out the red states that mooch off our taxes.

    Classic fallacy: if you like it better, move there. A response that doesn’t address the falsehood you asserted in the OP and your thread title. Which is that California is a Marxist socialist utopia. When folks point out it’s booming, capitalist economy, you resort to an insult. Enjoy your discussion with yourself
