Iirc California as a state has a larger GDP than most nations.
It's 4th or 5th which is insane.
5th previously, but recently we went up to fourth!
I wonder if it would stay like that on its own in a nationally divided disunited states of America.
Nope, we would not. But we're okay going down in the ranks so long as we separate ourselves from the batshit crazy people running the US.
The tariffs would end
Edit: and also the huge tax drain
Yes and also have you seen the real estate prices?
