Well, the RINOs are to blame as well.

China and India are clearly responsible for the majority of the man-made galactic warming. Natural variance, eliptical orbits and stellar winds flares are not enough to explain the warming we're seeing. The decadal oscillations from the galactic core account for over one-third of the stellar stream forcings, which wouldn't be happening if Trump had simply stuck to the Kyoto Protocol.

That California has surpassed Japan as an economy.
If you project California over the West, it would go from Idaho to... Who the fuck cares, no one productive lives out there.False assumption on your part. California's economy is so large because of location more than anything. If California were on the East Coast, it would stretch from N. Carolina to Maine.
Now, compare California's economy to the combined totals of the states from N. Carolina to Maine and see how it does.
Blue states like California actually produce a lot of food. More importantly, they produce a lot of money. With money, you can buy food.

Oh yeah.
Probably correct.
Could be.
Ana econmy can be large but poorly managed, Especially with fiat currency in the mix.

And also the real republicans.
I was alone in the wilderness on this a mere 15 years ago.
Both parties were equally douche -minded.
And libertarians were and still are the worst.
They love corporate dick in the ass.
Them and their stupid book of oligarch worship, atlas shrugged.
They will never shrug, they're the parasites.
I know, blah blah blah ...job creator worship.

Do you really believe all Red States are worthless? I think you are making the same major mistake the MAGATs are with Blue States.
This is just food, not industry. Balance food production against population centers and see what happens if the trains and trucks stop running.
Better, IMO, to return to the idea of E Pluribus Unum instead of Division et ruina
How much does agriculture contribute to the economy? Short story: Billions. Upon billions. When you total the cash receipts for all ag commodities, California is the leader, raking first with a total of more than $58 billion, according to USDA data. Rounding out the top 10 are:
- California, $58 billion
- Iowa, $44.7 billion
- Nebraska, $31.6 billion
- Texas, $29.7 billion
- Illinois, $27.9 billion
- Minnesota, $26 billion
- Kansas, $23.5 billion
- Indiana, $18.3 billion
- North Carolina, $16.8 billion
- Wisconsin, $16.6 billion

To me, the important thing about ag commodities is not just quantity, but variety. At the commercial scale, I don't think Kansas produces much outside of wheat and corn, whereas California produces a huge range of fruits, nuts, vegetables, dairy, wines.

Agbusiness is still business. It's not just about feeding Americans their Big Macs, pizza and steaks, but exports....which is why Trump's tariffs will hurt American farmers and ranchers.
...With U.S. agricultural output growing faster than domestic demand for many products, U.S. farmers and agricultural firms have been relying on export markets to sustain prices and revenues. As a result, U.S. agricultural exports have grown steadily over the past 25 years—reaching $174 billion in 2023, up from $57.3 billion in 1998.
I'm sure Trump is already causing American farmers to lose some of their markets, as nations look to alternate suppliers.Agbusiness is still business. It's not just about feeding Americans their Big Macs, pizza and steaks, but exports....which is why Trump's tariffs will hurt American farmers and ranchers.
The United States is the world’s second largest agricultural trader, behind the European Union. U.S. agricultural exports and imports increased significantly over the last 25 years due to the economic ascension of many emerging economies, as well as the implementation of foreign and domestic policies that expanded U.S. access to foreign markets. Over the same period, the geographic and product composition of U.S. agricultural trade shifted, as rising incomes and growing supply capacity of emerging economies reshaped global supply and demand for agricultural and food products (see publication below)....

Agreed. Trump claims to be a Master Negotiator but is proving himself to be a Master Moron only good at shooting himself in the foot.
When most Americans come to this same conclusion, things will start becoming better although a lot of damage will already be done.

And when Trump's tariffs hurt the US farmers AGAIN it will be the US taxpayer bailing them out AGAIN.Agbusiness is still business. It's not just about feeding Americans their Big Macs, pizza and steaks, but exports....which is why Trump's tariffs will hurt American farmers and ranchers.

And a lot of the farmers that voted for him are crying " I didn't vote for this" and are saying it is costing them a lot and could drive some of them into bankruptcy .
If they voted for Trump, I don't have a lot of sympathy for them.
