People seem to assume California is “too big” or “ungovernable” Japan is smaller than California geographically, has more than 2x the population, and a GDP of almost $5T. We can do better. We are not close to the theoretical limits of what we can achieve. 🐻

Completely agree on tremendous potential of CA but it’d take a dictator to save it at this point. CA is a failed state without the means to stop the brain drain and capital flight. Venezuela can do better too. I’d bet CA becomes the next Venezuela before it becomes the next Japan

Brain drain is due to competition Capital flight is due to the tech bubble bursting because of remote work Compared to many other states, California is doing awesome
