Comparing Kansas to California?!?! Hey asshats, how about apples to apples here. How is California doing compared to Texas? Silence to ensue.
And how about comparing MD to TX? As wrench said, “Cherry picking statistics”.
Another reason Trump was right to ban this sorry birdcage liner.
As an economy, CA is one of the largest economies in the world. The state has done an excellent job of diversifying its economy to include agriculture, entertainment, tourism, and technology. Other states have tried - some have succeeded - others not so much.
My theory is that coastal states or states with ports have always been more open to trade and outside influences - and their economies reflect that openness and flexibility - despite the best efforts of Democrats to control the economy.
