Agrarian Like Wyoming, decreased crime levels, and without the embarrassing Jackson water crisis bringing shame on the state. I Meant on a national level. Would people in California or Pennsylvania even Notice if Jackson was gone, Should have clarified. Of Course people in Mississippi would notice, You're right it does provide essential service like health centers and airport, But it doesn't bring growth or prosperity to it's state in a way or small degree Little Rock does for Arkansas, and without it Arkansas 's whole future is bound to a 400-500,000 Metro (Northwest) that's all the rage on here, But Nobody talks about in real life.
And who's talking about Little Rock in real life?
As far as Jackson goes, here's the linchpin: as of 2022, Jackson's metropolitan area (MSA) comprises 19.7% of Mississippi's population but accounts for 23.5% of the state's GDP. For all of Jackson's problems, everyone who believes the state would be better off without it is wildly off the mark.
