California Draws More Startup Investment Than All Other 49 States Combined
- jqpabc123 2mo agoSo California is a hell hole of innovation and prosperity that right wingers both despise and envy.
- mmooss 2mo agoWhy do you think they invest so much messaging bandwith on disparaging CA (and NYC, and all 'blue' places)? It's hard to reconcile the superiority of the right-wing policies with the overwhelming economic and quality-of-life advantages of 'blue' places.
