As aforementioned, CA alone would be the 5th-6th largest world economy. Plus all that tech.
But let's also remember that NYC is a global financial center.
And the NY-NJ-CT area is a global corporate center.
If Trump and the GOP get any more cute with us in the blue states, I wouldn't be surprised to see corporate leaders of the region turn around and take their pound of flesh from the rest of the country.
You need pharmaceuticals in Alabama? South Carolina? There will be a surcharge.
All that construction in Nashville? Birmingham? Spartanburg? Your local banking system doesn't have the capacity to sustain it, so we'll continue lending to you...at 10% or more.
Those farms in Nebraska? Iowa? Missouri? We now own them, and you have one week to GTFO.
In short, Trump and the GOP had fucking better well come to their senses, 'cause this is an extremely dangerous game they're playing with us; and it's not wise to attack someone unilaterally when they we have the power to ruin you, financially and otherwise.
I don't blame Newsom for what he's doing. As aforementioned, this is a shot across the bow.
Just my 2 cents.
