The yokels simply don't realize that all those fancy military toys they like to harp on about are designed and made in Redondo Beach at Northrop Grummen.
Skunkworks, NG, and a ton of the actual MIC is based in California.
That and a geographic fortress of the Rockies, dessert, and the plains, plus economically+ manpower + a better relationship abroad. Water would be the big choke point, but they have enough to get into desalinization if they need too.
Shit. I wonder if I should move.
i mean it's gorgeous out here when it's not on fire or raining spiders
How stable are the climate predictions? Is it far enough South to avoid the boil over the next two decades?

Like hell you are. Builds wall along the Columbia
Hey. I have tacos
Alright you can come, but only if they're 3/$10 or better.
California fucking rules man I love it here.
Texas is the state with the 3rd most US defence spending. Virginia and Maryland are numbers 2 and 4, but you have to guess that it's headquarters there close to Washington DC and the actual manufacturing might be done elsewhere.
Sure but look at the other states surrounding Texas. They're poor as fuck.
I'm fairly sure that part of the reason the military and contractors are so spread out, that and sharing the economies that come with them.
