California Should Be The Economic Model For America

I was willing to play along for a little while until I came across this:

> the small business failure rate is the highest in America at 69%

I then dismissed the entire article as a waste of time. More startups = more failures and that's actually a good thing. If you write something so fundamentally misinformed as if the policies are causing the higher failure rate, then your entire article is most probably bunk and full of similar non-sequitirs.

Regarding "more startups = more failures", not on a percentage basis.

I think you're looking at it from a volume vs percentage aspect, in which you are correct, whereas what the commenter really meant is that startups are far more volatile and likely to fail.

I couldn't tell if this article was being sarcastic or not.
