- paulddraper 2y agoHow much of that corporation is California?
- givemeethekeys 2y agoYou mean the 4th largest economy in the world? I'd imagine it is quite significant.
- lukan 2y ago"If California were a sovereign nation (2024), it would rank in terms of nominal GDP as the world's fifth largest economy" (wikipedia) Still surprising.
