Hah. Another "split" California movement.
Ain't gonna work THIS time either.

California is the 9TH largest economy in the world. There is PLENTY of money here. One DOES have to work for it, though.

The "yellow brick road" is in another part of the galaxy.

Yes, let’s give them 10 more US Senators, that’ll solve a lot of problems.

Dividing California into six separate states could also result in the state's current debt being divided into more manageable segments. More importantly, dividing California could alleviate the state's looming tax burden. One of Draper's intentions is to create a new and competitive environment between the six states. Each region of California has its own priorities, such as the south and its concerns about immigration. A competition and division of priorities could solve California's most problematic situations, like aging infrastructure and declining education. According to Draper, each new state could address the problems that are unique to its residents without bearing the burden of improving the state's other regions.

Golgafrincham was a planet, once home to the Great Circling Poets of Arium. The descendants of these poets made up tales of impending doom about the planet. The tales varied; some said it was going to crash into the sun, or the moon was going to crash into the planet. Others said the planet was to be invaded by twelve-foot piranha bees and still others said it was in danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star-goat. These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitizers. They sent the B ship off first, but of course the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone.

No. No way I want those idiots getting ten more senators.

I see but two Californicators types (well maybe four given the two types that leave the State.)

Statists and Constitutionalists.

Draper is brilliant but, this idea is looney.

Cept when you think of how he would benefit from the whole thing.
