Is there a state that we wouldn't miss if it stopped existing?

Keep Missouree.
Don't get me wrong, I like Missery, lived on the other side of the Mississippi an hour give or take east of St. Louis (not E. St. Louis thank god) for a while. Just felt right to use one of my favorite Abe Simpson quotes.

All the businesses around here would freak if Mexico stopped existing. There would be no one left to build houses cheap or do lawns. Mcdonalds would have to aise the price of their double cheeseburger to $2.75.

Oh you mean things like ~80% of your gasonline?

Mine comes from California.

That's all good and well, but just wait until Texas stops refining. You think it was bad during the hurricanes just wait.

Did you just compare AC to Vegas? :confused:

i'm sorry but i've never been to either of the two, do either produce something that we'd miss? Not just vegas and AC, new jersey and nevada

NV - highest gold and silver mining output in the country.
NV - Legalized prostitution & sports betting - Left alone by Uncle Sam

NJ - Waste dump for NYC and PA

I nominate Utah.

Utah has some of the best national parks and monuments: Zion, Bryce, Arches, Escalante, Canyonlands, Natural Bridges.

"Beginning in the late 19th century with the state's mining boom (including the Bingham Canyon Mine, among the world's largest open pit mines), companies attracted large numbers of immigrants (of diverse faiths) with job opportunities."

lol I like how the wiki page includes that little aside. Also, their state motto is "industry".

Without Utah, think of all the western movies that wouldn't have been shot!

New Mexico seems like an obvious answer. All they have is spicy food that's better in Texas.
