    California produces 10% of American agricultural needs. If they secede it would be way worse on the economy than these tariffs.

        Those 5 states would do just fine without the United States but the United states would be an unimportant backwater without them.

        well no, the US would still be 60-70% of the total US economy without them lmao.

            an economy of whatever it currently does? I think you literally said it yourself, the handful of states are 30% the economy of the US total, the rest is still a thing, it’s not going to disappear lmao. Idk how hard this is to understand.

            The US primarily exports high value goods and services, tech for example, not food.
