Actually, this is a flat out lie and couldn't sound more clueless. The northeast is far more important than those Midwestern cities and are better at business. Somebody has no clue what they are talking about.
Really? I guess those Oaklanders living in poverty and amongst gangbangers are high class lmao? I'm waiting on some nice pictures of Oakland. This includes pictures without people standing in a welfare line, police arriving on a scene because a crime has been committed or someone being robbed. Oakland looks like an unflushed toilet!
Hahaha...you mistake Oakland for the bombed out looking slums the Northeast is world famous for, yo.
And as far as business, Chicago+Minneapolis+Detroit > DC+Boston+Philadelphia
Pretty close matchup if you're doing metros, probably wouldn't put one definitively over the other. When talking about everything in addition to business, I'd say the Northeast without NYC proper would probably be more powerful than the US portion of the Great Lakes area, but it depends on where you draw the line between the two since varying definitions have them overlapping in different ways.

Only because of the Midwest's over reliance on the industrial revolution. It really needs to reinvent itself outside of manufacturing.

Probably a misnomer to say Midwest. Rust Belt is more all-encompassing. Most of the cities are in the process of reinventing themselves while still having some manufacturing thrown into the mix. It looks like the next few years have most Rust Belt cities stabilizing if they haven't already and then starting to grow again.
What a silly thread, but then again, this is C-D isn't it. Of course the country could make it without California and New York. Do the coasts think THAT much of them, to discredit the financial, cultural, and agricultural contributions of the Midwest? NYC is like 1% of the population of this country, if that. And California; the OP chose to throw in the entire state of California, rather than just compare LA to NYC. Not that it matters, even a fair comparison; New York state to California, surely, America existed before, didn't it. It will exist after as well, if succession were to take place.
Bahahahahahahahahahahaa if your name isn't Vegas or LA, everything is a desert to a New Yorker.
No offense but New Yorkers with a clue know better.
