Blame CA bloated social programs. If you can't pay for them, you can't pay for them. People will make due, they have for at-least a few thousand years. Just means white people working in orchards instead of mexicans.

Don't be dense. Diverse confused you. Look it up.

I wasn't talking diverse races (god forbid, don't wanna scare the white folk).

I was talking about diverse (and pivotal) roles those areas provide the rest of the country. In the many major industries they provide goods and services in support of the entire rest of the US.

Like I said, in the case of California, we're talking about it be the CENTER of:

Movie Industry
Music Industry
Computer Industry
Agriculture
Shipping and distribution (with an enormous coastline)

Californis has not been the center of the computer industry in decades. They like the automotive industry have allowed entitlement to price themselves out of the market . California doesn't come close fo feeding it self . Any attempt to prop it up will bleed the rest of the country dry.

And what you're not getting (not that that might be something unique) is that all those industries that make money, and provide services in times of good, are also hit hardest in times of bad.

Face it. The "USA" IS NYC [and surrounding areas] and California.

Where YOU live is what's fucking completely irrelevant.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. That's just the lay of the land, son.

It's called "fly-over" territory.

You could maybe sell that idea for the entire East Coast and the entire West Coast while throwing in the Gulf Coast for the energy side of things and the Great Lakes region for manufacturing, but to limit it to only California and NYC is simply dumb.

There is something about every state in the union that's worth visiting. Avoiding a state because of its politics makes no sense. You're not voting, you're sight-seeing. Therefore I call BS on those who say there's nothing in CA they'd like to see. There's certainly more to see here than Rhode Island or Mississippi.

Sometimes I paint in primary colors in order to keep it simple enough to at least evoke recognition of shades of gray from those who can perhaps only typically see black and white
