      No, the US GDP is about $30T and China is second with about $20T. California GDP is just over $4T, so the US would probably need to lose several other states too before being overtaken by China, though those states would be a solid #3 over Germany, assuming they left as a bloc.

        As a Californian my top cessation concerns would be

        1. Water
        2. Manufacturing expertise is mostly in other states
        3. Physical security from Confederates (California has a huge amount of military infrastructure from WW2)

      Problem is, CA is doing their own version of wacky insanity. Newsom is nuts. The Land of Liberals hates homeless, is losing empathy in a different direction, it’s really weird.
