Think of it this way. If California becomes a nation, I'd guess that our agriculture industry would go from being as important to the state as high tech and entertainment to it's most important industry by a wide margin. If economic circumstances change, technology and entertainment can relocate to other places. You can't move fertile land. Beyond that, it would be California's key to creating beneficial trade deals. People can live without iPhones, they can't live without food. Edit: I looked up some data on farm subsidies. Look where California falls with regards to money from the federal government: https://farm.ewg.org/progdetail.php?fips=00000&progcode=total&page=states®ionname=theUnitedStates California receives less than half of the amount of money Iowa gets. confused has issued a correction as of 08:08 on Nov 14, 2016 |
