Ok, everything is incredibly messed up right now. We can't get focused because there is so much stuff we need to fix.
How about individual states begin to secede?
The US would become more like an EU, it couldn't support the 1% as easily.
Thoughts?
Please comment so this gets seen.
Although this is technically legal, the last politician that tried this in recent history wound up dead (Alaska).
...and everything would become more localized and easier to deal with.
last time we tried this there were 212,938 deaths and 625,000 wounded
Nah, lets not.
I'd like it if Texas went ahead and left. J/K
Crossing the border states would be a pain in the neck. The economy in some states with military bases would significantly drop. The big issue in the SW, between states, would be water rights.

Oregon, Vermont, New Hamshire all have consitutional clauses enabling secession. Let's get on with it. What's the point of being affiliated with this corpse known as the US Government.
