But US states can't regulate interstate commerce. So it's moot.

  > But US states can't regulate interstate commerce. This is wrong: so long as it is neither discriminating against interstate trade (that is, as long as it treats interstate and in-state trade equally), nor acting in areas where Congress has explicitly or implicitly, by adopting its own regulations, prohibited state action, yes, they can. And while the FCC anti-neutrality regulation was asserted in court to preempt state action, that arguement failed to prevail.

    The California market is so large it's often more cost effective for companies to just adopt CA standards instead of creating split markets. We've seen ripples throughout the auto industry due to CA laws. Complaints from farmers about how they treat their pigs was also due to a CA law. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/agriculture/2023/05/11/iowa-based-national-pork-producers-council-loses-supreme-court-challenge-to-california-law-gestation/70207838007/ https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/agriculture/20... > "California is the nation's most-populous state, and the producers say that the way the pork market works, with cuts of meat from various sources being combined before sale, it is likely all pork will have to meet California standards, regardless of where it is sold."
