Can we just disolve as a nation already? Start an auction state by state to different countries?
Clearly we cannot manage the simple act of self governance. The experiment is over and we failed.
Honestly I’m here for a CA/OR/WA Western seaboard alliance. Hawaii can go back to being governed by natives but can ally with us.
3.6t + .3t + .73t = 4.63t using 2022 nom GDP
Which would make the Western Seaboard the #3 economy in the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)I think some of the northeastern states could likely form a similarly powerful and cohesive country.
Alberta can join Montana and the Dakotas if they hate Canada so much.
Maybe BC could join the Western Seaboard, too.
It’ll probably never happen… but who knows? The relative stability of countries and international borders is a recent phenomenon.
I’m all for this too. The Western landlocked states would be screwed not having access to the Pacific ports as well.
Nah they can have access… for a price.
Laughs in Colorado
That’s a nice Imperial Valley agricultural industry you got there, it’d be a shame if we just dammed the Colorado at the Utah border.
Unless CA could convince OR/WA to give them more water, the inland states are critical for freshwater here.
Cascadia, my dream is Cascadia.

Mate we can’t afford it right now. Maybe if Florida ends up in the bargain bin?
I call dibs on Norway
You mean norway calls dibs on you
They don’t want you. 😁
You sure? Getting to pick and choose what chunk of the US you buy?
Cali and its living economy are gonna be high bids
Yeah… but what about Florida ?
No ones gonna buy that. Evac the population and return it to a nature preserve
Florida the land is great. It’s the population that’s the problem.
It goes to Cuba. It’s in the will.
Choices, choices! I think we can only take one or two states. Which ones should we pick?
As always
American politicians blaming school shootings on anything other than easy access to guns (any%)
They’d much rather disolve the education system.
Love this speedrun! Can’t wait for the 100% run!
[Summoning Salt theme is playing]
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson is a hardcore Christian nationalist who has a history of spouting extreme right-wing views — including on mass shootings.
The Louisiana Republican’s record on guns has come under scrutiny in the wake of a shooter killing at least 18 people in Maine on Wednesday, and in addition to opposing gun control legislation, the man who is now second in line for the presidency has blamed mass shootings on both teaching evolution and abortion.
When you break up the nuclear family, when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it’s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters.”
He’s advocated for the return of prayer in public schools, derided the “so-called separation of church and state” on the House floor, and argued that the nation’s founders did not establish the separation to prevent religion from influencing government, but rather to impede the government from restricting the influence and free exercise of religion.
The new House Speaker is also a diehard Trump supporter who worked to overturn the 2020 election, and so it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that he doesn’t view the United States as a democracy.
It’s not just majority rule, it’s a constitutional republic, and the founders set that up because they followed the biblical definition of what a civil society is supposed to look like.”
The original article contains 590 words, the summary contains 232 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
“Christian nationalist”…So no surprise.
This guy is looking worse and worse. He’s already an insurrectionist, he’s basically a christo fascist nutjob
So, typical Republican then.
Oh fun already huh.
This guy wants Gilead and he’s not quiet about it.
This guy is going to be a source of endless “entertainment”
Is this guy really just an idiot, or is he simply pandering to the uneducated to get re-elected?
Yes
For a while it was the latter but this new generation of Republicans are the ones who grew up drinking the kool aid. Their Voters can’t tell the diffrence and many are too cooky to care
Louisiana here. It’s impossible to know the difference anymore. The results are the same.
Kennedy sure has nailed that whole act of being an evil genius who acts like an idiot so that nobody will suspect him of anything nefarious.
It’s the same picture… made using feces-based fingerpainting
Yes.
Pretty standard Republican beliefs. What I always find odd is their incredibly romanticized, rosy view of the past - apparently back in the Good Ol’ Days, there was no murder, rape, physical or sexual abuse, wars, lying, stealing or horrific institutions like slavery (I assume he’d say it was actually a good thing) because Americans at all times revered the Lord, so of course they didn’t do any of that.
In the good old days they were carefree children that were shielded from the terrible things happening in the world.
Looking at election results, the vast majority of Republican voters live in rural or at least suburban areas. Those feature both low population densities and isolation. This can make the crime rate in instances of violent crime per year low compared to an urban area with the same crime rate per capita. It also means that when someone does her killed, The average distance in feet (or miles) from the crime scene to your house is larger. This can affect perception of crime a lot
What a fucking idiot
Ok, let’s agree that humans evolved to become school shooters, but how does abortion play a part in it. Abortion actually eliminates possible school shooters, so it balances it out.
So, yet another Republican idiot. Not much of a surprise.
Yeah and I blame Taylow Swift for the lack of Indian restaurants in my hometown in Italy smh
