   >That is correct. California’s economy has been growing steadily for years, and is now poised to overtake Germany as the fourth largest economy in the world. This is due largely to the state’s strong tech sector, which accounts for a large portion of its GDP.

   What’s really amazing is we do this with less than half their population.

   I would have titled this “Germany’s economy taking a beating because of Putin’s War and thus California is poised to overtake it”.

   Oil has been a huge sector there for a lot of years. It always pays well and the demand these days is increasing given world issues.

   California

   Knows how to parrrrtayyyy.

   Kinda crazy how good the state is doing when all the bots and fear propaganda tells you it’s a shithole and a failed state.

   If this is failure, wtf is success?

    shit getting spicy in here: this due to the values of the Euro and USD changing. I lived in Cali for 18 years; there are significant pros and cons with the state

    California is a nation-state. It’s also why there is such a dichotomy between rich and poor. I love this state but it’s becoming inhabitable for many.

    California is the economic engine powering America and sending tax dollars to the shit hole southern states

    California also had Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Home to multiple companies worth over 1T

    I thought California was literally a post-apocalyptic wasteland with nothing but junkies though? Surely republican states that need huge federal funding arent the ones spreading false information.

    Darn democrats and their massive contribution to the US economy. /s

    Pretty sure people in Germany still have a better life. Less homeless, less traffic, better work life balance and cheaper cost of living.

    bomgd3 on October 30, 2022 at 4:42 am

    How meaningful is this if California is insanely more expensive than Germany? Like if housing, education, and healthcare are all 3x the price in California compared to Germany, is California really more productive in a real sense?

    Time for the rest of the US to pull their weight. Tired of carrying non-Californians on my back

    I hear California is a shithouse commy state though, what’s up with that?

    lordjeebus on October 30, 2022 at 4:42 am

    It’s impressive to see what a state can achieve when conservatives are removed from all branches of government.

    This is a really roundabout way of saying the Euro has reached parity with the dollar, down by 13% in 2022 vs. USD, and decreasing the nominal value of Germany’s GDP as a result.
