Though given that the Emperor apparently only managed to grab Gran Francisco while one of the kingdoms has taken over almost everything else, I don't think this attempt will be successful.

Rah! posted:I like how they forgot to include any sizable cargo ports for themselves. San Diego's is kinda small (lots of navy poo poo, but only moves a fraction of the amount of cargo of the Bay Area or LA), and Stockton is even smaller. Well if the new state included Oakland or Long Beach that would defeat 50% of the reason for New California.

Do you think owning the entire Mexican border is intentional, or just a side-effect of claiming every rural county.

Alternatively somebody realized while they were drawing up the lines for Conservafornia that they'd roped in nothing but a bunch of broke as gently caress rural counties and would probably need an actual source of jobs and economic growth, hence pulling in Santa Clara and San Diego (although that one is also half "are troops  ")

I'm betting it's way less smart than even that. This is a small cadre of angry white old men getting together to design their conservative utopia, and one of them lives in santa clara county so that county had to be included. Same deal with contra costa county.

Duckbox posted:I mention this every time conservifornia chat comes up, but I think the reason these maps always look dumb as hell is the old guard Republicans aren't trying to secede, they're trying to recreate a state that doesn't exist anymore -- if it ever did. Most of SoCal isn't that conservative anymore, but the right wing types have responded to this by moving ever further into the exurbs where you can drive around with a gun rack and a rattlesnake flag without getting too many funny looks. They've lost touch with the urban areas and now imagine they can turn back the clock thirty years if they all just band together and kick the liberals out. They want the California Reagan promised when he campaigned on killing the Fair Housing Act to ensure the legality of racial discrimination.

I could see a $15 breakfast if you went to a restaurant and got a full meal. Is that supposed to be a lot? What does it cost elsewhere?

^^^^^^^^^ If I go to a sit down breakfast place I am certain it would be around $15 or more depending on how much I pigged out, and that doesn't seem like a lot to me at all.

I always wonder if people who speak in earnest of California falling into the ocean really think that's actually possible, due to an amazingly poor understanding of plate tectonics? Or maybe just that they've heard the expression often enough that they think it's possible? Or is it more like the gif of bugs bunny cutting florida off and watching it float out to sea: a hopeful and amusing mental image that nobody actually thinks can happen? Or... wait, no, I think I know the answer people think that's possible too
