Texas would never do that, I don’t think.
Also, 6 states is way too many. California does seem to be too big and probably should be split up. But I’d think 3 states would be plenty. It’s hard to see the logic here, except as it benefits so called Silicon Alley.
this means we will be up to 63 states? thats too many!
The thinking is shallow. It presumes population and economies will remain the same. When a breakup would cause populations to reorganize around new power centers. Silicon Valley would be very rich... Until San Francisco gets greedy enough to milk it dry. Right now a business in Northern California has the same regulatory environment as most any business anywhere else in California. But if a Silicon Valley millionaire can move 45 minutes away to a less liberal area and cut his taxes by half while enjoying the same geographical luxuries and beautiful weather, why wouldn’t he/she?
One of the biggest things keeping California liberal is the sheer mass of Mexican immigrants and poor folks who drown out even reasonable republicans.
