I think there’s a clear distinction between your characterization and the reality which is that California contributes massively to the US government in EXCHANGE for federally funded services like FEMA. The money California generates for the US could just be relegated to their own FEMA.











Nah I’m mostly coming from a funding point of view. If the budget management is fucked, then it’s fucked. Though I wonder if conservatives fleeing California after secession would alleviate that. Either way, it’s a fair point. Thanks for providing more insight!
