I’m too lazy to verify my hunch, but I’m guessing Texas is largely oil (exploiting natural resources), whereas California is largely intellectual output (tech, with some Hollywood and other sundry stuff), though California certainly does exploit its natural resources too (good farming conditions, some oil…).
No, they have a ton of industry. Specifically a lot of the actual weapons manufacturing btw.
Texas is more or less what Ukraine was to the Soviet Union, if you want to understand why a fascist loser like Putin is so hung up on getting it back. A significant source of resources, manufacturing, and expertise.

Is weapons manufacturing a social program? 🤔🫴
US weapons manufacturing is an Israeli housing program.
Ukraine was the California of the USSR but with the natural resources of Texas
California doesn’t, or didn’t, have a history as an independent state or popular desire to be so.
Mmm yeah, fair. Texas does have some more direct parallels in that realm
