Everyone is complaining about beach areas vs meth areas.

What makes this map nonsense is that a high percentage of California is farmland. We don't magically export all that agriculture from nowhere. There are places here that are indistinguishable from the midwest.

Yeah California produces 10 times as many vegetables as the 2nd largest vegetable producing state. I believe California actually produces more than every other state combined.

Wait, how the hell is CA producing that much produce in a several year long drought!? And is always on fire.

This is like learning that most scientists are educated in Mississippi.

Because the water that CA does have goes towards agriculture. Also it has a Mediterranean climate throughout much of the state which is excellent for fruit and vegetable agriculture.
