In what ways? California is still the largest state economy in the US, and would be the 5th largest in the world if independent.

It obviously helped catalyze the growth, but Texas continues to do really well even in the midst of a global drop in the price of oil.

Austin is a booming tech capital, and arguably the most concentrated location of start-up talent outside of Silicon Valley.

Reminder that 6 out 10 cities that have grown the most in the United States are in Texas.
Kys califaggots.

People are moving from California to Texas, not the other way around.

Daily reminder that Texas has 3x lower unemployment than Cali.

Daily reminder Texas grew its population more than 6 million people in the last five years.

Calicucks flee on the masses, they have no jobs... pay almost a dollar more per gallon and can't affort their shithole.

>>74675658
Texas residents also score much higher on national tests, and there's less violent crime in the state.

California literally has nothing over Texas anymore if the state fixes its obesity problem.

Mexican migrants obviously

>>74676241
Texas is just the only state that knows how to effectively utalize and assimilate them.

California, Arizona, and New Mexico haven't benefited at all from illegal immigration.

>>74676241
Texas has Whites Hispanic Americans and African Americans

Cali has Cucks, beaners and niggers.

>>74675658
Are you bragging about your state being COLONIZED by superior Californians?

>>74675103

>>74676599
>Arizona
IIRC for Arizona they are responsible for an uptick in crime and a net financial loss for the state. Which explains why the state has a lot of supporters of stricter border controls and increased deportations.

Reminder that the only reason California does worse in education is because we are holding ourselves to much higher standards than most of the union and especially Texas. Would you rather an A+ student who's history omits a bunch of shit from the books (because its unpatriotic) and whose science consists of saying the lords prayer, or a C+ student who's taking real classes?

Pure bullshit. According to the bureau of labor statistics, Texas's unemployment is 5% and California's is 4.9%

For one thing, Texas didn't see much combat action during the Civil War, so there was very little war damage to repair unlike Mississippi or Georgia which were devastated.

>>74679781
Texas isn't being colonized. It's braindraining California.

People who move to Texas for jobs quickly find themselves and their children identifying as proud Texans. People who move to California just go to smoke weed and absorb welfare.

I hate this meme that Texas is Southwest...It's in a special geographic location. If you are from El Paso, that is indeed SW; Houston is in the Deep South culturally and north Texas around Oklahoma is more midwestern.

I can accept PARTS of both Texas and California as Southwestern but they are both more of their own regions.
They both include parts of other regions, can't just generalize them beyond their own names.

>>74680431

are you pretending Texas doesnt have just as much of a mexican infestation?

>>74680296
Let him dream. By the time Texas surpasses California, if ever, it will just be anotehr Cali colony. Just look at Austin. That's what Texas will turn into after we are done with them.

>>74680398
Those are mostly poor people who don't qualify for wellfare for some reason and can't afford to live here. Thanks for taking them in I guess.

>>74674738
Really that's not saying much. Between Cali and Tejas, it's like comparing two kids with down syndrome.

>>74680497
That makes sense. I know that California has a higher standard of living right?

>>74680444
Very good point. I consider the salton sea area and death valley of California, SW. San Fran obviously not. The Western half of Texas is the tumbleweed nothingness you would expect.

>>74680544
Yes, but not everyone can afford it. Look at Oakland. Blacks are moving out by the busload, not because we are forcing them to, but because they just can't afford to live there anymore. Whites and Asians are moving in and making it a better place. Latinos won't budge though. They have no trouble with 20 people living in a household and work 12 hour shifts daily, so they can afford to live here.

Keep telling yourself that. Austin literally has the highest housing prices in the nation, Midland has a median income of fucking 107k. It's not poor people moving to Texas.

>>74680904
Is LA not in California anymore?

>>74680954
>Midland has a median income of fucking 107k
kek, my neighborhood has a median income of 120k and it's considered lower to average middle class. So yes, poor people are moving to Texas. They might not be poor in your eyes but they are in ours.

>>74680987
I was talking about Oakland you dumb spic. Learn to read.

>>74681001
http://siliconvalleyindicators.org/data/economy/income/median-household-income/

Silicon Valley, the richest fucking area in California has a median income of barely over 100k. Kys

>>74681098
There's 3 million people living in Silicon Valley. It has its shit poor areas as well and it's average crappy areas filled with college students who wish they had chosen better degrees. Don't post shit you don't know about retard.

>>74674855
>purer form of capitalism
Texas actually got a lot more protectionist than how it used to be in the 1970s.

>>74681025
The blacks aren't leaving California all together, they're just moving to the bay area suburbs while the hipsters move in to the inner city.

>>74681233
Nah most are leaving. If you look at the demographic shifts you see a lot of traditionally black communities are losing huge percentages of their black population, but almost no country in Cali is gaining black people. The Bay Area suburbs are much more expensive than Compton, Oakland, and the shit parts of LA, where they usually live, so it wouldn't make sense for them to move there. I live in the Bay Area suburbs right now for schooling, and I literally see 3 or 4 black people a week, outside fellow students in a class.

>>74681188
Midland is an entire fuckinh city. If you want to just go by individual neighborhoods, Highland Park in Dallas has a median income of 149k, and I'm sure there are plenty of others that are even richer.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Park,_Texas

There are rich isolated neighborhoods everywhere you absolute dipshit.

>>74681324
What are you even arguing for anymore anyways? I can find communities in Cali with an average income of over 200k. You're the idiot that posted a meme link about Silicon Valley. Yes the average income is 100k, but that doesn't mean that there are no poor areas there. The people moving out of state are usually lower income people who simply can't afford to live here anymore, ie poor people. Thanks for taking them in!

The aqueduct is pretty much self funded at this point. Also how are Americans this retarded that they seem to think water gets to California by bucket brigade through their benevolent charity?

The same way California itself became big, oil+defense industry jumpstarted its manufacturing and it got a big ass port city on its southern coast (LA/Houston) with a big military city (San Diego/Dallas-Fort Worth) and then booming tech areas (Silicon Valley/Austin)
