Serious question JVL - As an ex-Californian and ex-pat, but one that still pays federal and state tax I am confounded as to why the Federal Gov't (Trump/Musk) can threaten to withhold federal aid, while the California Gov't can't do the same? Forget paying federal tax until the majority of our money is returned to California to help pay for this tragedy. Let's stop supporting the Red states that drain our monies and start supporting our own.

I've wondered the same. I'm all for it, but I suspect the weight of the federal government's response would make it ... very difficult. But on the surface a trade of CA tech and defense industries for Walmart and Stuckey's seems fair to me.
