California provides HALF (that's 50% guys) of the food grown in the entire U.S. Imagine losing half of the domestic crops overnight. Your food bills would double. California provides 20% of all milk/dairy production in the U.S. California ranks first in dairy cow inventory and fourth in total U.S. cattle inventory.
GUN owners: Despite being a blue state libtard stronghold, a sizeable chunk of the state is RED state. And it's huge population means that even a smaller percentage of gun owners is a large number. California Dept of Justice estimates over 8 Million Gun owners (of all types) in the state. That means that GUN owning adults in Commiefornia still outnumber the ENTIRE populations of Washington, Massachusetts, Arizona, Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri, Maryland, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana, Kentucky, Oregon, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Iowa, Arkansas, Mississippi, Utah, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, West Virginia, Idaho, Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska, Vermont, and Wyoming
Also DOJ estimates that ASSAULT WEAPON owners (of course the definition changes all the time) in Commiefornia still outnumber the entire populations of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska, Vermont, and Wyoming. So even if those states enjoy gun freedoms more than we do (which is not hard) we still have more 'assault weapon' owners than every man, woman and child in these states. Not something to sneeze at.
California provides the MOST tax revenue to the Federal government, more than any other state (including Texas and New York).
All of the high tech devices you're using right now to access the internet, including the gateways are from California. If we go, the internet goes with us.......
I always say, dumping this state or letting it secede is a silly idea, a funny meme or joke sure, but in reality it would never happen. All the factors that made California the 8th largest economy in the world if it were it's own country are what keeps it important to the USA. It's a very valuable piece of real estate that the liberals have taken over. I say stay and fight.
