Sorry, that’s kind of an oblique answer, the direct answer is money. A few extraordinarily wealthy people made a few more people rich by sacrificing what is right and good for America, with what is convenient and enriching for them.

All without ever having to leave the state, at all. I mean, what if they don’t have FOOD there?
