California is now trying to leave the union to become their own country. This is laughable. Best reaction I heard was- it's like when a twelve year old wants to move away from their parents. Honestly though, what are the chances of this happening and the ramifications if it does.


They say they have a higher GDP than he rest of the country and we apparently rely on them for food. Not sure when that happen. yet they rely on Colorado to ship them 80% of their fresh water.


Not to mention once we pull or military bases, police, and fire departments out, what's going to stop Mexico or china from annexing them?


Not sure they completely thought that thru. Not sure if this should be in the political forum but what are your thoughts?

Thoughts? That this will get merged with the other thread that's farther down the page.

Since when did police and fire departments become federal entities?

Military occupation of California?

Ummm not going to happen. Besides the fact that the PD and FD are ran at the local level do you really believe the US is going to stand idly by and let China and Mexico expand its boarders. The US can't even stay out of the way of other countries business across the other side of the globe.

idk about this stuff tbh. But they are not government agencies who receive federal funding or funding from the government. Like I said, I don't know much but wouldn't that be pulled?

---

Can't happen because of the federal interstate system.

 

Though I would support states deciding to leave the Union. Technically it is their right.

---

California requesting federal assistance to cover $200 million dollar spillway damage after the State ignored potential issues and reports of growing risk.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

Same thing with Texas during the last administration.   Exact same thing.  

 

And by the way, California is not trying to leave the country any more than Texas was trying to leave the country.  Just a few wackos with a crazy idea that, as you so correctly point out, they have not thought through.

Don't forget to mention how much in tax revenue California generates for the Big G!
