    That's a pisspoor article if you want to make me worried about California's finances. Again, show me a state that doesn't have some fiscal issues. $1.6B short term deficit? Big fucking deal. That's loose change under Elon Musk's couch cushions.

    Now, if you'd have made the argument that Cali's tax revenue structure is fucked because of Prop 13 and the resulting low corporate property taxes causing the state to rely on funding sources that fluctuate with and are overly dependent on the state economy, then I might argee. But even with that caveat, we'll be fine, thanks you. If the Great Recession didn't cripple us*, nothing will.
    You said surplus. You were wrong.
    They were projecting a surplus as late as November, which is the last time I recalled seeing anything about it. As I said, I'm not worried about that small a deficit. Cali's economy is doing pretty well, and will continue to do so. Bet against us if you like.
    This thread isn't about betting against you. It's about what you are going to do if you secede. But troll on douchebag.
    He answered your fucking question
    Exactly.

    He answered your fucking question
    No he didn't. He denied the possibility of it happening and didn't answer the fucking question. Christ baabs. Can you even read?
    I said that it won't happen, not that it can't happen. It's all there in plain Engrish.
    That wasn't the question being asked.
    When asked an extremely implausible hypothetical, I responded by saying it won't happen. Why do you have a problem with that? Texas blathered about seceding when Obama got elected. It was laughable then. Some cranks in Cali are pushing Calexit now. It's laughable now. Cali benefits more by remaining in the US and affecting US policy from within than it does by seceding and trying to affect US policy from without. That doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of all the shit that would have to be unraveled regarding finances, property, military facilities, commerce, etc., assuming it can be done amicably, which even the wurst divorce lawyer would cackle derisively at that prospect. Why secede anyway? Because Trump? He's not long for the office anyway.

    Secession won't happen. Not because it can't happen, but because it's a bad option, much worse than staying and dragging the rest of this fucking country kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
    TL, DR: Fuck your flamefest gash

    I would find you and light you on fire in your sleep. Hell, I might do that anyway.

    I don't sleep. I'm too busy keeping my city safe from terrorists like yourself.

    Won't happen. It's better to be inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

    Newsom and Harris are a big part of the new generation of Democrats who will drag the rest of this backwards ignorant fucking country into the 21st century. Like always, Cali will lead the way.

    Have a last supper of kale and quinoa, fuck your hairy armpitted wife, then get into your Prius and die in a fissure on your way to a protest.

    If Cali secedes, OR and WA won't be far behind.

    This. It would be back to the PAC 8.

    If it did happen like this, all three are net donators to the feds. They'd implement a new federal tax less than the feds have now. They'd negotiate military, extradition, and other agreements. And the only change really would be lower federal taxes for the residents of these states.

    Never understood the interest in kale. It's like spinach, but high-maintenance.

    California is a great state. Really a tremendous state. It really is.

    So when the United States of Trump masses troops on the border of the Republic of California, will it be the SF fags or the lesbians who answer the call of duty?

    That undervalued beach house of yours will be a nice recon spot for the Marine landing too.

    I'd be worried as fuck if Texas bailed. Those fucks are crazy and would look to expand their borders. And also undefeated in war.

    Check the facts:

    As a native-born Texan, I was subjected to "Texas History" in the 7th grade.

    Texas War of Independence - W
    1841 Invasion of Santa Fe - L
    Vasquez Raid - L
    Dawson Massacre - L
    Mier Expedition - L
    Texas Archive War - T (intra-Texian fight)
    Snively Expedition - L
    Civil War - L

    1-6-1

    would get you fired just about anywhere



    1-0 when it comes to independence. #TexasForever

    Here's what I would do (I live in Pasadena). Help untwine and negotiate end to federal water rights claims. By all rights cal owns the Central Valley system by now. Colorado river water buy-out could cause war, though. Touchy subject. Cal pays way more in fed taxes than it gets out to pay for the white trash states, including southwest riverside county. We want out and and end of your subsidy. We lead the world in everything. I support it and would stay without hesitation. I also support nuking Tacoma. And Olympia.

    California doesn't have nukes? Have you ever been here? Know anything about the economy and resources?
