    Tinfoil, desperate for some bad news on Calif, parroting intellectual dishonest reporting?

    if only the CNN anchor that tinfoil is parroting would address Calif's GDP over the past 40 years.



    How has Calif been able to grow its economy ?


    The Calif exodus started when Ronald Reagan was POTUS, in the 1980s, since then its GDP has risen from the 7th largest in the world
    to the 4th largest

    Since Newsom become the Gov, Calif's GDP has risen from 5th place to 4th place, behind the USA. China and Germany,
    all of whom are growing at a slower rate than Calif


    the net loss in population---spanning more than a generation---makes Calif's economic expansion even more impressive.




    since the 1980s, Texas has gained ~ 17.5 million in population. in so far as the ranking of its economy in the world stage
    • in the 1980s, Texas was in the top 10 - 15
    • currently, Texas is in 8th place
    since the 1980s, despite with a smaller economy, even with the net gain in population, Texas' GDP has not grown faster than Calif's.
    it's about efficiency / innovation.

    since the 1980s, Cailf has sponsored > 300 Nobel prize-winning research projects; less than 50 for Texas.




    All other factors being equal, a loss in population has the effect of shrinking the economic pie.
    over the past 4 decades, economically speaking, Calif has proven that effeciency/innovation can mitigate the loss in population.

    Of all the prevailing media narratives around Gavin Newsom, the one that is most conspicuous by its absence is how under its
    two-term governor California became the top performing economy not just among its 49 siblings but also any developed nation.

    No wonder Elon Musk quietly sought Newsom’s help when the world’s richest man sought to move a bunch of
    Tesla Inc. engineers back to the golden state after relocating them to Texas.

    [​IMG]
    “I will never forget” when Musk “called me,” said Newsom. “He said, `I'm surprised you're picking up the phone.
    I may actually ask you for some help” because “I can't find the talent in Texas. Don't say a word.’”

    Democrat incompetence compared to Musk’s brilliance. Stunning!

    why are Traitor George and his kind so afraid to compare Calif's Hi Speed Rail system, such as it is, to
    like-kind publicly funded construction projets, such as

    • Texas Central High-Speed Railway connecting Houston to Dallas
    • Austin's "Project Connect" Light Rail
    • Texas stated-funded border wall as directed by the invalid
    • Trump 2.0's renovation of the WH ballroom
    • Sam Houston Tollway Ship Channel Bridge
    • George Bush Intercontinental Airport
    • systemic breakdown of the ERCOT power grid during Winter Storm Uri ?

    Traitor George continues to parrot false claim !
    I had called you out on this convenient lie before , as it relates to the hi-speed rail system in Calif.


    In 1996, then Governor Pete Wilson, a GOP from San Diego, signed Senate Bill 1420 which created the California High-Speed Rail Authority (“CHSRA”) with responsibility for designing a high-speed rail system in California.

    The ballot initiative authorizing funds was approved by voters in 2008, when Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, was governor.
    In 2009, then the Governator applied for $4.7 billion in federal funding for California’s high-speed rail project under (“ARRA”)
    the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 , the federal government’s stimulus package, which approved $831 billion
    in federal spending on infrastructure, education, health, and energy projects.

    Since then, mounting legal hurdles have led to delays and cost overrun;
    Newsom is the 5th Calif Gov saddled with GOP Pete Wilson's ill-conceived hi-speed rail project
    1. GOP Gov Pete Wilson
    2. Dem Gov Gray Davis
    3. GOP Gov Arnold Swarzenegger
    4. Dem Gov Jerry Brown
    5. Dem Gov Newsom
    GOP Pete Wilson conveniently assumed that there would not be so many legal hurdles to overcome,
    similar to Trump's ill-conceived / unconstitutional tariffs.

    stupidity is lauding a company without reading its financial statement, which Wall Street Ape did not do.

    According to Space X's financial statement,
    • Its 2025 revenue total $18.6 billion
    • It has never been profitable
      • 2025 results from operation generated a loss of $4.9 billion
      • has accumulated an operating loss of $41.3 billion since it was founded in 2002,
    • as of the end of 2025, it had a cumulative long-term debt of $37 billion
    Its financial position is so weak that, 2 weeks after it had raised $85.7 billion cash from the IPO,

    California sues Trump administration in bid to keep state's tougher emissions standards


    California is challenging the Trump administration's attempt to nullify the state's pioneering clean-air standards for motor vehicles, saying the federal actions are both illegal and dangerous.

    For more than 50 years---including the 4 years under Trump 1.0---no presidents of both parties have supported a system that authorizes California to adopt strong air pollution standards, as a model for other states, Attorney General Rob Bonta's office said in a lawsuit filed Monday in a Washington, D.C. federal court.

    In a statement accompanying the suit, Bonta, a Democrat, said the Trump 2.0's "illegal actions would mean more pollution, poorer air quality, more market uncertainty, and greater health risks for communities already overburdened by emissions."

    Trump's Environmental Protection Agency, whose actions were challenged in the lawsuit, declined to comment.
