This could lead to a civil war if enough states leave with Cali. What a shitty time to be alive that it has even come to this
We honestly never really finished the last one. Reconstruction got the rug pulled out from underneath it.
We have a history of being soft on treason
In part because we only exist due to treason.
At least the American revolution wasn’t about keeping slavery
No, but the second was, and at this rate the third one probably will be.
I fear that is going to need settled more finally at some point. That tumor continues to fester.
No could about it. It absolutely would.
It's not come to anything. They tried this a few years ago and it failed. "approved for signature gathering" doesn't mean shit
Here's to hoping it's just saber-rattling to remind the feds how important it is to the nation. CA standards benefit way more than just CA residents; i.e. giving other states framework to adopt similar legislation (like emission standards) or even HR practices. Anecdotally, I worked for a CA based company at an east coast office; when they laid a portion of the workforce off, they paid severance to all affected even though many of us were in 'right to work' states.
just like that one movie, what's it called
Dude, Where's My Car?
Not sure if a joke, but Civil War?
When Harry Met Sally?
