Redding’s probably the largest city in the area but it’s small by national standards. Other than that, Medford has some industry. Most of the new state would be rural farms and forest, so I think they’d be just fine
Yeah the scariest part of that night was the fire almost made it to the expo, where thousands of people had been evacuated to. It almost made it over Wagner into Buncom as well, and after that the Applegate River valley might have been gone.
Just one county in The state of jefferson named Trinity county is over two times the size of the state of Rhode island... Our states on the west coast are huge compared to the east coast...
Redding is best choice, shasta lake is the source for sacramento river and will be enough to run a big state.. they just need to cut water off from farmers down south below jeffersons state line....
I wonder if red counties would do better if they cut out all the corporate (finance mostly) and government bureaucracies that make blue cities rich. GDP numbers suggest otherwise but they don't tell the whole story.
Just sell the raw products already there then build up as capitalist free zones and finally the culture change should have an effect. However, just moving to a different state probably wouldn't accomplish all that.
do these counties hold any significant economic hubs that would allow them to subsist as their own state?

We also have forest that need to be managed. Almeda Fire.

Billings is the largest city in Montana (much larger than a state of Jefferson); 110,000
Redding's population is 91,000
Just for perspective. Not that I really think a state needs to have a large centralized economic hub prior to statehood...
Tax on export to Commie cities.
Call it the "Dipshit Surcharge"

In other words a democrat stronghold?
so being a farmer is verboten?

They have quite a lot of farmland, timber, cattle, sheep, minerals, etc. They could feed themselves and plenty of others.
