What would secession accomplish other than losing national representation? How will Net Neutrality affect Netflix and state's rights? Discuss.

We settled this question 150 years ago. You don't get to leave.

One of the podcasts I listen to mentioned that the part of the state around San Diego gets most of it's money from military spending, so San Diego would become the new Gary Indiana.

It would generate a massive investment in reconstruction of infrastructure and durable goods... and a ton of debt.

On the one hand, new recreational weed laws. On the other, the Constitution and the Civil War.

California, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

It won't happen, but supposing it were possible would the Republican controlled federal government be in favor of seeing California leave since it would strengthen their control?

Somehow Silicon Valley will acclimate itself to government by the super-rich, for the super-rich. If not they'll just move as many jobs as they can overseas oh wai

We were somewhere around Manila when the drugs began to take hold
I'd like us to try our hand at a nullification crisis first before full blown secessionism

There seems to be a rumor about some state or another wanting to secede pretty much every election. It's usually Texas.

It doesn't happen. It isn't going to.

All the things that make us
Laugh and cry

Nah, they know they need to suck off California's tax dollars to give to dying midwest states via "tax breaks" and fund poo poo like F35, and upcoming Iran war or whatever. They'd never ever support California leaving since it'd be a huge pie in the face comes budget time and they know it. It would complete collapse of the federal government.

Not that it would ever happen anyways, so it's moot
