The implication was that they could train their own doctors, not that they would import doctors from a 3rd world country.

Why aren't airlines drastically cutting back their scheduled flights if there has been such a drop in demand?

Poor countries, that make the poorest US state look like Monaco, have no problem producing doctors. Also, as a general point, merely looking at total subsidy amount means nothing without looking at the reason for the subsidy. For example, i

How many famines have happened because ample food was readily available, but farmers didn't want to pay a slightly elevated wage to workers to pick the food? In this scenario, some farmer is going to choose to pay $20/hr for farm

That was basically my original point - OP made it sound like red states only exist via the largesse of blue states. I'm not really sure why my points have received so much push back, but OP received basically none at all for offering

Maybe we can't find enough labor because 50% of the workers are working illegally, voluntarily and involuntarily accept illegal working standards, and are suppressing wages far below what they should naturally be. Is your argument tha

National security doesn't stop being a thing if the US splits into two countries. It's just the national security interest of Blue America would not directly align with the national security interest of Red America. Blue America w

It's a fact(I guess?) that they are that percentage of farmworkers. It's not a fact that without them that farms would not survive in America.

There's a big reason why the US subsidizes domestic food production, and you'd be throwing that all out by relying on other countries for food. Good luck, let's hope Brazil and the US always see eye to eye on everything.

Yes, and it is hard to buy wheat when the price skyrockets due to interstate conflict. It's even harder to buy wheat when no one will sell to you.

The world is more than America, FYI. Also, the red states could sell the food to blue states, but just at a much higher margin than they currently do. Also also, I'm not the one who invented this ridiculous scenario of every state for

I'd rather have wheat and no money, than money and no wheat. I suppose the people who would buy Kansas wheat would be anyone who wants wheat. The US currently considers food security a vital part of national security. The blue states i

Yes, too crowded, except for the 30% of the state north of Sacramento, and the entire east side of the state, and a big chunk of the Central Valley. But besides that 80% of the state that is mostly empty, it is way too crowded.

I suspect they are only counting people above-board coming and going, but I think there is good reason to assume the "undocumented" population is increasing(the known undocumented population is ~6%), so the net may be closer to
