I might point out the deregulation Trump is overseeing hits California hardest. Is there a reason to bring hardship to California by Trump? Everything he does is due to politics and cronies.

That broccoli you and your family had for dinner last night, any chance you know where it was grown? Unless you bought it at a Farmer’s Market, chances are it was grown and shipped from California. Many people recognize California for Hollywood, scenic beaches, coastal cities, and it’s delicious wines. But California also grows nearly half of the produce consumed in the United States and it’s almost the sole source for some domestically grown fruits and vegetables.
To name a few, California grows:
99% of Artichokes
97% of Plums
95% of Celery
95% of Garlic
94% of Broccoli
89% of Cauliflower
69% of Carrots
97% of Plums
95% of Celery
95% of Garlic
94% of Broccoli
89% of Cauliflower
69% of Carrots
You get the idea. California has some of the most ideal growing conditions for fruits and vegetables, in terms of climate and soil. It is even potentially one of the most productive places in the world. Which is quite the notable achievement for us as a nation....
