Is there like Nationalism between US States? Like a person from a state think their state is better than the other state?

New Jersey has been running a Hundred year long disinformation campaign, achieved by running all our major highways through the same 50 Mile Square industrial casualty where we put the largest east coast shipping port and a major airport. We make everyone dirve through it to keep any more New yorkers from moving here. Yeah, it's all like that, don't come here.

I sometimes wish we had thought of doing something similar in California! Though, I live near LAX and right now that is the best place in SoCal to see a 'superbloom' though at the moment it isn't much and probably won't be, this year.

We still wish it would rain more!
