    It is inspiring.

    But I really wish we’d step up here on the East Coast. NY, MA, NJ, VT. All should be right out in front with you, but aren’t.

      I can’t wait until y’all just balkanize already; I’m sure that when the dust settles, some parts of the former United States will be worth visiting. Until it happens and actual names are picked, I’ve been calling your chunk New New England

      There’s a lot of old money up there. And if I’ve learned anything through 2 of his terms, it’s that money is willing to vote against its seemingly better judgement for a few dollars more of a tax break.

          Guess we’ll see how that vision works out when investments and the consumer economy go kaput in a civil war and the aftermath. Never made sense to me to see capitalists support tearing down the system they thrive on. Do they think it won’t end? I guess these are the people that believe in infinite growth after all.

      They have that new North East or New England health pact thing! They’re working on stuff, but I think they’re rightfully taking stock of what areas they can afford to hit back on. California can basically take care of itself so we have a lot less to lose if the feds try to shut us down.
