I think a major problem is Oregon and many other states are, in many ways, colonies of New York, the East coast, and California. When we bank at NY banks, we not only send the profits out of our communities, we also promote monopolies that can become arrogant and try to impose their values on us. Likewise for the tec sector and California. Nearly all our media and tec platforms and financial institutions are controlled by huge monopolies based in NY or CA. And they are becoming increasingly arrogant in imposing their values on the entire rest of the nation.
I would like to see the economies of Oregon and the other "colony" states strengthened and made more independent of NY and CA -- the opposite of what the OP proposes.
