other states do grow their own produce necessary as the number tends around 45%... thats 55% not grown by california.

When half of the food consumed by the country comes from one out of the fifty states, you need to accept that the country cannot be described as anything except utterly dependent upon that state to function.

And no, california doesn't get to demand water from anyone, and the government can't demand states give it up either.

California won't need to demand anything. Despite what the handful of bitter, ignorant people in this thread say they want, the governments of most of your states understand the level of interdependency in question and will be more than willing to help out to avoid anything resembling a food crisis.

we'll pay more for some fruits and veggies sure... if they came from california.

If California loses the ability to grow produce, you won't pay more. You'll simply starve, as a growing population fights over a rapid loss of half its food supply. That will never happen, of course, because this is a national issue that will be resolved without much ado.

There's a reason wall street is in new york and not california ya know.

Yes, history. New York was first. That's really all there is to it. By the way, I'm more than willing to acknowledge that New York holds a place of prominence among the states. It's a hell of a state.

You aren't center of the united states princess, regardless of what you think.

No, we're not the center. Just the most important piece. The best part is that we don't require you to acknowledge it for it to hold true. Your pocketbook speaks for itself.

i don't need to understand california, all i need to know is it's a fucking cesspit whose only function to the country is produce.

Awwww, so bitter! There's no need for that. We're quite happy out here! And you - you don't have anything to complain about. Yet. So cheer up, and enjoy the massive federal tax dollars we pay out in addition to the food on your plate that we grew!
