    CA itself is the 5th largest economy on the planet. Seems like a fine plan to have it leave, since the rest of the country can’t function without it.

      Hey now, the west coast (especially the northern half) is very much one region which works together. The states are largely similar in terms of culture and politics and even sometimes work together on shared legislative goals.

      It wouldn’t be California leaving. It would be the whole west coast.

      DC will never let such a productive powerhouse go. No country would give that up. If that’s what they want, they should remember what happened last time and prepare for it. I’ll be in the Canadian wilderness collecting bottle caps and watching from a distance if y’all need me.

      Well let’s be honest here and admit that is because CA is part of the United States and a lot of trade would disappear if it was leaving the bunion.

      I don’t think CA is gonna leave the bunion.
