I find this article very badly argued.
> Detroit doesn’t place burdensome regulations on automobile manufacturers; Idaho doesn’t put undue restrictions and hurdles in front of potato farmers; and California takes steps to protect its farmers — because these industries are part of the lifeblood and identity of their respective states.
And automobile industry became the doom of Detroit, and Californian style farming could pretty well become the doom of that state.
- twblalock 10y agoFarming is a small percentage of California's GDP -- less than 5%, if I remember correctly. California would be just fine without it.
- brianwawok 10y agoGoogle says it may be as low as 2% in fact.

- jt2190 10y agoIt's not an article. It's an editorial written by a lobbyist.
