Why do Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, both Dakotas, Nebraska and Iowa exist?
No major cities at all. All the cities are just 10 miles apart on roads because that is far humans walk in a day.

It's a trail of people who just gave up.

Like if the US federal government just stopped wouldn't like every single one of those towns just become their own little country?

Orlov was wrong about oil - it's not going to become a crisis because you can't pump enough of it out of the ground, or even the nuanced take of it being too expensive to pump out of the ground - that shock in the second week of March that we experienced triggered a crisis because oil became so cheap that it wasn't profitable to pump out of the ground anymore, and that's going to cause problems with regards to accessing the oil, in the form of collapses in the fracking sector, the depletion of storage, and even gas stations going out of business.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

This is an actually good solution, so it will absolutely never happen. Instead, state governments are going to reopen their economies and cases will spike.

Small business owner tyrants fear this idea since it would remove financial leverage they would have to force people to return to a unsafe work environment.

Rude IMHO.

Iowa east of I-35 is just as populated as any other place outside the northeast. And the real barren area doesn't start until you get past Omaha. Not much between there and Denver. The Dakotas and Montana/Wyoming are a whole different level of empty compared to Iowa and the part of Nebraska by the Missouri River.

so do megacorps, which also need that leverage to force their employees to work

they like the government supplementing their employees' income with food stamps and medicaid, so they can keep paying a sub-living wage, but it's a delicate balance

For real though if the US does Balkanize, I-35 is a way better border to use than state boundaries. It's a secondary boundary to the Mississippi for where population ends and ranch country begins.

Walmart and McDonalds are the only kind of megacorps that need that though. Boeing doesn't give a gently caress about food stamps. Neither does Verizon or Raytheon or Lockheed or GE or whatever.

You're right, the split happens right before hitting the twin cities then ends on the other side of the twin cities. So yeah, 35 would probably be a decent balk line if we're willing to just like, follow the Hennepin County line once the split happens and return to 35 at the north edge of the county line.

It splits other places to. Dallas, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Wichita, Des Moines, and probably a couple other places.
