(Mods: that auto-suggested title is different from the one on on the page itself, but it’s honestly a better headline in terms of the article’s contents. Let me know if i need to change it.)
On Thursday, Rep. Andy Harris told Newsmax that money for wildfire aid isn’t a priority for Republicans because “we just put more money into FEMA before we left for the Christmas holidays,” and the Maryland Republican claimed that Los Angeles “mishandled the fire department so egregiously that they ought to bear some of the burden for that rebuilding.”
This should be enough reason for California to secese. Join Canada!
See how well the US.does without the Californian economy (it would end in ruin)
World’s fifth largest economy, right? Maybe it could strike out on its own.
Third largest if Canada’s included!
For sure. However, you’ll want allies, no matter how powerful you are. Maybe a Schengen type situation would be interesting?
A lot of values are similar, make an open trade and travel zone?
Honestly, with the way things are going - Canada could very benefit from the entire Pacific coast seceding, along with New England, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.
Legitimately would flip the global economic status quo on its head, ‘eh!
The rest of the US would have to raise tariffs on exports to California to cover the shortfall
