I would finally open that magnum of 1995 Laurent-Perrier Brut, which has somehow survived the birth of my two children and two national championships by my favorite football team. It would be the greatest change for the better since the demise of the Soviet Union.

... as a Californian, I just laugh and laugh at the out-of-state armchair "experts" posting nonsense about my state. You might as well hang a sign around your neck that says "I am Ignorant and Misinformed." California Haters are gonna hate.

Cali wants to secede, yet its top politico, the governor, complains about federal - disaster - money being held up. What is wrong with that picture? Not the first time, not first Cali governor to lodge a complaint along those lines.

California wouldn't last a year without Federal support. Further all native businesses would be prohibited from exporting across their border. This would enrage normal Californian's to hunt down the perpetrators and make things right again.
Please do this! We can get lettuce and avocados from Arizona.

Here, this will shut you up. Your major cities are broke and reak of urine and feces. Trade association convention bookings are way off. Muninciple pension obligations are in worse shape than Chicago.
Oppressive gun and ammo restictions are putting your society on the brink of rebellion.
Pal, you are in dreamland!
But keep pushing!

The amount of hatred for California on this thread is beyond absurd.

If they did go the route of independence it would be in the best interest of the rest of us if the border wall ran North to enclose off the former state and when they failed they could become North Mexico.
They could apply for membership in the EU.
