    It's also interesting that blue states overwhelmingly hold the top positions in the nation for homelessness. 1 out of every 4 homeless people in the US live in CA. Mississippi has the lowest homeless rate.

    I'm pretty sure in one of your many stories you yourself claim you moved to San Fransisco from another state because that's where the jobs were.
    CA would not even exist if not for it's dependence upon other states resources. They are so stupid, that they bitch about climate change while dumping other states water in the sand so their man made desert oases can survive.

    CA is ranked 39th.

    California has by far the highest GDP, even with all the homelessness, means they are doing some things right.

    Pretty sure federal dollars are also a resource.
    But yes, I understand what you mean.

    But of course they use a lot of resources. It’s the biggest state, highest population and don’t forget makes the most money... States do different things, and supply the country in different ways. I’m 100% they are supporting other states in other ways.

    Looks like it’s not California that uses the most resources.

    And looks like California produces quite a lot of resources! I’m shocked by how much tbh!

    Those rankings are always so easy to manipulate to get the outcome you want.

    Like why doesn't it take into account military bases? I'm pretty sure California has several large military bases, all filled with military personnel with families and who all contribute to the local economy with their federal income.

    Why doesn't it take into account national parks? I'm pretty sure those bring in some money to the local economy from tourists visiting the state just to visit those parks.

    Why does it go by federal funding as a share of state revenue? So even if two states received the exact same amount of 100 million dollars in federal funding the "blue" state would receive a lower federal dependence funding score because their federal budget is 10 billion dollars while a red state would receive a higher score because their state funding is 1 billion dollars.

    I’m pretty sure it takes into account many factors.
    But using that same logic, any poll, rankings, or whatever you post, I could apply the same logic?

    Highest GDP and yet they lead the nation in homelessness. Remember when I was talking about keeping a moral check on greed, CA appears to be the biggest offender of unchecked greed in the country and yet they are the loudest ones in the room. Weird.
