California's economy is bigger than all but five nations, World Bank data says
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- New data from the World Bank show that California's economy was equivalent to the sixth largest in the world last year.
The World Bank's annual rankings of countries' gross domestic products, released on Friday, confirm an analysis published last month by the California Department of Finance.
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported last month that California's GDP was $2.5 trillion in 2015, up 4.1 percent from a year earlier.
California saw more economic growth than the United States as a whole, which was up 2.4 percent.
But California's rise in the global rankings comes largely at the expense of Brazil, which is struggling economically, and France, which was burdened by a weaker currency.
Only five countries produced more last year than California: the U.S., China, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom.

But we have earthquakes, drought, and a buncha Grateful Dead-lovin nekkid hippies runnin' around. So go to Australia instead. Or someplace else. Just not here. You won't like it.

I agree with rubato. In fact, last month in Palm Springs it got to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. They say it's probably only a matter of months before the entire state reaches that temperature and it's why everybody over 50 years old stopped wearing clothes a couple of years ago.

Ah the land of perverts!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

It's nice to see California pull back into 6th place in the GDP numbers...
It had been in sixth for a long time, but had fallen to 7th or 8th by 2014:
