What's wrong with California, Lee?

You mean like closing down fossil fuel extraction, importing all the fossil fuels, hitting the remaining fossil fuel outlets with bigger taxes, then forcing them to stay open, blaming wildfires on climate change rather than their cutting back on control of fuel, Closing down one of their dams and then blaming climate change for the lack of water to fight fires, the net emigration from California, huge rises in taxes? Those kind of things? And don't forget the Moss landing Fire of the BESS batteries - close to houses and schools.

No, I mean being a sunny, fabulous state with nice beaches, vineyards and forests, along with having the largest economy in the US.

California and Californians remind me a lot of us east coast Aussies, but do you know?

Globally, if California was a national economy, it would be the fifth largest in the world, one behind Germany.

Seems to me all that action on renewable energy's having some good.

Cheers, big ears.

Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Not wind turbines and solar panels.
Ask any dogfaced pony soldier.

You tell Lee that, old boy. I could not agree more.

California might have grown under the Spaniards on sun, oranges and grapes, but add the multicultural soft power of Hollywood and Silicon Valley, and it's the biggest economy in the Americas - by far.

And precisely because of immigration.

That's California, and that's us. How do we know?

You.

Legal tinted immigration?

Come come. The old boy won't even truck with Calabrian Dagos.

Can you imagine a statefull of Aztec Spics and Jungle Jims?

Slavery ended far too soon, remember. And yet, the Californian economy is up there with the Krauts.

California uber alles, no?

Not because of Somalia, Paki, Haitian, Afghan, Guetamalan immigration.

The US grew to preeminence in the 20th century while it had virtually no immigration.

If immigration was really key to any economic development then Korea, Japan China, Singapore would be inexplicable.

The economic value of mass migration is grossly overstated to cover the serious social damage indiscriminate mass migration has done to every Western country that succumbed to it.
