You are making my argument.
What’s FedGov gonna do while those cities are burning? Including DC.
The rural folks, Deer Hunters etc hate FedGov as much as we do. Do you see them actually helping them recover?
I mentioned the Civil War because another poster brought it up first, but CWII will not be between North and South.
Regardless, choking those cities would be the key to winning.
I still say though the North doesn’t grow enough to support it’s whole population.
It’s nobody’s fault, no one is saying they’re lazy, or anything else, it has more to do with population dispersal, and seasonal issues.
Ask anyone in Transportation, the NE US is a giant black hole. We send thousands of loads in, and you can’t get a load of anything out of there.
The rest of the US, not so much. I’ve seen a driver haul a load of food (generic) to a city, go two streets over pick up the same type of food and deliver back to the part of the country he just came from. I’ve seen stuff like that countless times. I have also read and studied transportation patterns (logistics) in this country, and they support my hypothesis, at least they did as of 2004.
Il, IN, OH, and MI are Midwestern states, and don’t fit the hypothesis. The only reason I included them was for geographical reasons. The choke points would actually isolate those four states all but preventing them from helping the NE at all.Also because Chicago, and Detroit are two cities that would also need to be cut off to force FedGov to their knees.
I think you are taking what I said as an attack on Northern US citizens, and I’m not.
The point I was trying to make with the other poster was if that war from 1861 was fought today, it would end very differently. In 1861 the NE US had the greatest concentration of wealth and goods. The South was barely able to feed itself.
Not so today.
Why would a rural person object to their corn being ground into corn meal rather than going for ethanol?

No red-blooded American is going to choke any city. You've got deep-seated problems if you want to starve 10 million Americans at a time.

Oh my, you are thick.

So no corn product ever leaves the midwest?

Ha! They thought the same way in 1861. It's amazing to me you southerners are so prideful you can't recognize reality. You get beat in a war to end all wars, and you still think you can win.
In 1861 the NE US had the greatest concentration of wealth and goods. The South was barely able to feed itself. Not so today.
Yet all the southerners here say it was the south that was the economic engine of America, that everyone was stealing off them. BS then, BS now. Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, are still powerhouses. Once we got rid of the pro-Confederate generals and put Grant and Sherman in charge the war quickly turned. You think you can run roughshod through the north today? Here in the sticks we're just as conservative or moreso than any southern county, and you won't get any farther than a gangbanger trying their BS here rather than in their "gun-free" zones.
