New California Movement Hopes To Create 51st State

LMAO. So sure of yourself and so wrong. At least you were able to control yourself and leave out the all caps words this time. Bravo.

My statement was more accurate than the assertion "they only want statehood since they've been bankrupt".
 
This has been talked about since i was a kid living in Sacramento. It goes now where because those coastal cities depend on the natural resources of the rural counties.
You have the relationship backwards. The resource producing rural areas depend on the cities. The net flow of wealth is from the urban to the rural. Of course being in another state never stopped a city from importing, but it does stop the city from paying for a rural hospital or airport.

The most important resource in that state is water. SoCal has very little. While those coastal hotspots control a lot of the wealth, water is key amd always has been the major point of debate in the two-state conversation.

For the past 50 years, California should have been systematically building desalination plants along the coastline. California is a wonderful place, but it's state Gov't fails it's people time and time again.

Its a mess and watches out for the best intests for the Bay Area and LA area. That is it, in a nutshell.

Just a conservative wet dream to try and break a stronghold for Democratic electoral votes. These proposals get thrown out for New York and Illinois all the time too.
The rest of Illinois hates Chicago. The rest of NY hates NYC. East Texas/West Texas. Rural Colorado hates Denver.

Hell you could break up Iowa into quadrants and most would probably be in favor of that.
 
Yes Please! Divide the State along I-35

Why not just take the lower, 2 deep counties in southern Iowa and give them to Missouri. Missouri wouldn't know the difference. And, it would eliminate quite a bit of meth and welfare. Not to mention the collective IQ of both states increase.

While we're at it, we can give Council Bluffs to NE.
 
Let's start calling all these new "rural states" names like: District 9, District 6, District 13, etc.
We can put walls around them to keep all the "darker skinned folks" away.

What's the worst that can happen here...???
So you say that only "darker skinned" people want a government that dictates to them and provides all of their needs? That's telling
