In reply to the discussion: Washington, Oregon, California join pact for COVID-19 collaboration [View all]regnaD kciN
(27,714 posts)54. I'm thinking that Nevada has little common ground with the others...
...because its so dependent on tourism, and most definitely not only that coming from west coast states by car.
I think that around 30% of all residents of Las Vegas are employed, directly or indirectly, by the tourism industry. Theyre currently taking a beating unlike California, Oregon, or Washington, all of whom are based on industries that dont require people to visit on vacation. Nevada needs tourists to survive and I suspect that, if there was ever a showdown between the governor and 45s claimed absolute authority to reopen the country, most Nevadans would enthusiastically side with the latter.

trump is responsible for every death. He's yet to demonstrated one iota of leadership.
