minus-squarewildginger@lemmy.myserv.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up22arrow-down1·2 years agoCan we just disolve as a nation already? Start an auction state by state to different countries? Clearly we cannot manage the simple act of self governance. The experiment is over and we failed.
minus-squareCylusthevirus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 years agoHonestly I’m here for a CA/OR/WA Western seaboard alliance. Hawaii can go back to being governed by natives but can ally with us.

minus-squareblindsight@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years agoI think some of the northeastern states could likely form a similarly powerful and cohesive country. Alberta can join Montana and the Dakotas if they hate Canada so much. Maybe BC could join the Western Seaboard, too. It’ll probably never happen… but who knows? The relative stability of countries and international borders is a recent phenomenon.
minus-squareSkwerls@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoI’m all for this too. The Western landlocked states would be screwed not having access to the Pacific ports as well.
minus-squarebobs_monkey@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoNah they can have access… for a price.
minus-squarefrostycakes@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoLaughs in Colorado That’s a nice Imperial Valley agricultural industry you got there, it’d be a shame if we just dammed the Colorado at the Utah border. Unless CA could convince OR/WA to give them more water, the inland states are critical for freshwater here.
