as if the natural beauty was what people allude to in California's failure

Which aspect of California, the world’s fifth largest economy and largest economic powerhouse in the entire nation, doubling the GDP of the next largest state economy, makes it a failure? 

An economy that is larger than India and the UK. An economy the country heavily relies upon for computers, entertainment, food, military defense, ports of trade, mobility, and so much more?

Abandon the rhetoric that’s being shoved down your throat by propagandists and think for yourself.

Zeitgeist continually shifts but has no material impact on the overall performance of the state. That’s all smoke an mirrors, a circus. 

Even the supposed “mass exodus” failed to unseat the state’s immense power even on a global scale.

As a lifelong California resident, I wouldn't say that California is a failure, but I would say that woke politics have continued failing in California and beyond

Most people reduce that point down to "California is a failure," which I don't think is true

Struck a nerve ngl 😅 I’m just so tired of seeing the same false rhetoric

What indication of total collapse are you seeing? Provide genuine insights and objective, empirical data — not anecdotes about homelessness if you want to convince.

if you wait for a total collapse it'll be too late

Can confirm, it’s basically the backroads of Guatemala out here 🤣
