Keeping the west coast economies constrained, preventing their obtaining herd immunity in 2020, insuring that either massive shutdowns are continued into 2021 or a large new wave of infections begins again from late 2020 into 2021.
You can only obtain herd immunity. You chose to get it as early as possible, or you need to get it sooner or later. Total death rates from 1st infection to herd immunity not likely massively different with either approach. But one approach requires destroying the economy and needing to rebuild it. The other doesn’t.
Message to Trump. Screw you, we want to make sure economy stays down so you are defeated in November. These governors could care less about public health. Bring on depression and suicide. This pact is totally political.
Recall, Newsom called California a “nation state “

Map of the Day: Ex-KGB Analyst Predicts Balkanization of U.S.

While they were cozying up in America, a prominent Russian professor named Igor Panarin was making rounds in that country’s policy-making circles, also doing his best to undermine America. The map below is his creation. Released in 1998, it predicted the breakup of the U.S. into six pieces by 2010.
I hope they don't think we're going to be paying the same property taxes because many people will go bankrupt....
thx to fearpers who handed this power to the rats on a silver platter......
That’s EXACTLY what’s going on!
and the more I read this, it sounds like some party people will get opened first and the ones they don’t like might never open or open late....
Bingo
Three Blue States working together against our President. What could go right?
Nowhere in this very lengthy statement/pact is the mention of helping the economic well-being of the people (other than the phrase: “approach for reopening our economies”). Disgusting, but unfortunately not surprising.
They should elect a Western States Czar.
I’d nominate Sandra Fluke.
Its all a bluff. If some states start opening the libs cannot stand the pressure not to open. Wait and see.
Trump declared a national emergency....he should come on and say that the national emergency is oover and the states should open up the economy for the people....
“If they dont reopen by mid May, when some states have done so, expect riots.
There is no way these states can hold out while other states are free.”
Those are liberals, for the most part. If the wise and wonderful government demands it, they will comply.
Sure feels like a civil war in the making
This could be the makings of a whole new communist country comprised of what was once California, Oregon and Washington. I wonder what it will be called; maybe the West Coast Gulag.
The eastern half to two thirds of all three states are red as they can be. Theyre hastening the creation of a new conservative state or two.
There is going to be a rush to re-open soon. By end of April, most states will have been closed 30 days and state/county tax coffers will start to dry up. Then, as budgets are reworked and state/county workers lose planned raises and maybe even furloughed, we will open in a hurry.
I’m drafting an open letter to our gov demanding her resignation on that very topic.
These type of regional alliances are going to become more widespread as states compete with each other for PPE and other resources in the open market.
Gulf coast states may be next.
