GDP is not an accurate barometer for prosperity.
No, it's a proxy. California does earn a lot of money though. And they pay their way, and covering the arse of those failed states. For every $1 paid in taxes, New Mexico gets $3.26 in federal funding. That's failure.
The homeless population per capita in Texas was 81 people for every 100,000 residents, compared to California’s 439 people.
Homeless population per capita is not an accurate barometer for failure of a state. It just means more people want to be there than there is available housing. Which refutes the premise of this thread.

You are counting success in dollars, where I am counting it in the quality of human lives.

How does California do on your counting, compared to the other states?

So your standard of "quality of human lives" is on one metric, which is proportion homeless?
You don't care about civil rights, democratic rights, education, nutritarian, access to drinking water or anything like that?
Why not?

Clearly it's because I am a bad person. Oh, and because the topic was Homelessness. 🆗

The topic was a failed state. You were trying to drag that round to "quality of human lives" because "financially propping up the actual failed states" is what Cali is doing.

Of course. I will let you decide the topic of my thread.
You decided it. You can see it above "California is a Failed State."
Maybe you should start another thread about quality of human lives.
