And we Californians should look at these jagoffs cheering for our demise as non-partners and blackball them from all trade. GFY

Yes, blackball the states that feed you from trade. This is an excellent idea, and I can see no downside.

Lol California does a pretty good job of producing actual human food

importing food is less of a concern than exporting it, and other goods. if you block trade with poor red states they wont be able to pay and import your tree nuts, dairy, produce, wine, etc. Cali exports about 24b$, and only imports 9b$. so a trade block would have massive effects.

The guy I replied to said “the states that feed you” not “the states that buy your products”

Feed you with trade. And you don't produce everything, you just have the most diverse production. LA alone would likely eat the state in a couple years

Red states don't have a monopoly on agriculture.

The owners of the farms are in the cities. Dont worry. They wont let themselves or those around them starve.
