California is a bigger economy than Texas, and includes a fuckton of defense contractors.

Although, to be fair, most of our manufacturing nationwide has been exported. I don't know if we actually make our materiel here in the states, still.

That's a good question. It should show up on Raytheon's or Northrop's or whatever defense contractor's audited financial documents, but I'm not sure. They'd probably try to obfuscate it but idk. I'll go read Raytheon if someone else wants to take another firm, I'm tired.

edit i fell asleep trying to read the annual report, so that's the answer i found

Right now, the US is already experiencing reverse migration. More people are leaving the US than entering it. A lot of those people have degrees and expertise and enough wealth to afford the cost of emigration and re-naturalization in a new nation.
