• California just legalized marijuana, and it's going to have a huge impact on the economy

  09-11-2016 16:06 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  California is the world's sixth largest economy, only outpaced by the US (as a whole), China, Japan, Germany, and the UK. The Golden State's economic output for 2015 came in at $2.46 trillion. 
  Let's be clear: We're talking about a single US state economy compared with those of entire countries. California, on that scale, is number six. 
  And that's why it's such a tremendously big deal that California just fully legalized marijuana, just like Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska be

  Those who get called up are given a comfortable raise and a solid chunk of the bonus pool.
