This thread is way off topic now. I would like to defend California and the USA. California's largest industry is agriculture. Tons of food shipped around the world. Almost all of the world's almonds are from the San Joaquin valley. There's no way you can say that "California produces nothing of value".
Also,. Americans don't travel internationally. That is not a criticism. It is a simple observation. They have a big country to enjoy. There's nothing wrong with not traveling.
