@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social I was thinking about your points on HSR and @pkrugman.bsky.social’s substack from 1/13, & in light of the admin trying to prevent fed funding toward CA, is reducing our “net contributions” a possibility? Ex: Could we ‘peg’ contributions to match Texas’s $68bn (2022-23).

@kamalaharris.com I think the CA governorship would be an easy win for you Mrs. VP. CA is (now) the 4th largest economy in the world and “as California goes, so goes the Nation.” It would be irresponsible to take that for granted.
