California is becoming a semi-feudal kingdom, with the nation’s widest gap between middle and upper incomes and its highest poverty rate. California hasn’t yet become a full-scale dystopia, of course, but it’s heading in a troubling direction.

It appears the state's 'progressive' policies are causing the state to regress.

1/6 of worlds economy. And your afraid if homeless folks. Cali will be just fine. Cali makes more money then any other state in America. Nonsense. Weakly scorced fear based nonsense.

California is 1/6 of the world's economy? You are fake news.

If they're so rich, why is shit on the streets a problem? Shitting on the streets is unknown in middle America. That would literally make California a shithole.

It's like #8, maybe #7 in terms of size, not percentage. Right you are.

And there is a lot of money there. Being concentrated as it is, yeah, shit hole. Watch where you step in SF...
