“We grow most of our food in California or import from Mexico.”

California has the highest state agricultural GDP, but that’s because it produces a cornucopia of expensive fruits, nuts, and veggies. On the other hand the larger portion of the corn, wheat, and livestock, the staples, are grown in the Midwest and the South.

“ It’s the Red States that depend on California, not the reverse.”

IDK how that’s true when roughly half of California’s population depends on water tunneled in from Nevada. Perhaps financially and technologically for maximal wealth-generating.
