Their bustling harbors wouldn’t bustle any more, if they were only serving their own state; their naval and other military facilities would shrivel w/o the megabillions flowing from the federal center.
some day China will build a port in Baja Mexico and put Long beach and LA ports out of business. If I were Mexico, I’d be on that asap. The longshoreman’s union is doing a good job of pricing themselves out of the market. Then Mexican trucks will carry everything that is now shipped into Cal.
Excellent point.
