If we sold California on the open market, how much do you think the US could get for it? And who would want it?
Considering they want to part ways with us, and most of us want them out, I think we should get money for it

Who do you thinks pays for California welfare? The welfare recipients? Get the fuck out of here.
Stupid fucking illiterate Spics.
Ryder Hall
if welfare wasn't federalized california would be more than able to pay those recipients on its own. they pay for theirs AND for southern states. what are you even complaining about. if you have a problem with welfare and paying higher taxes for government handouts look to your own backyard southern states. california is a net contributor
Gabriel Butler
California gets $368 BILLION dollars from the Federal Government, plus it is filing for BK, which means all $1 trillion of the deficit will have to be forgiven by the Feds

Here's what I don't understand.
I visited the USA back in December, I was there for a month.
Everywhere I went I hear the same complaint:
Commiefornians moving in and ruining things, SPECIALLY IN TEXAS, AUSTIN/DALLAS.
Now, I'm wondering... why the fuck would a Californian move to the South, SPECIALLY TEXAS, if they hate it so much? Shit makes no sense to me. Texans didn't seem very happy about it either.
Explain
Cooper Brown
Since 1970, more than 5 million Californians have moved to Texas. Californians are super obsessed about the place for some reason, while most Texans have no idea where California is. Most of it is cost of living related, but a majority is politics driven since Texas is a sane place and California is basically North Korea with Mexicans
Josiah Foster

State welfare is paid for by the state. California still pays more to the feds then it receives back in aid that all states receive. The feds just get to distribute the money they collect from the states.
Stop being a retard you welfare hick.

That's not how it works, you idiot. Stay in your lane and talk about your own leftist shithole.
New York is infinitely more important

Sebastian Hughes
Are you retarded? If California gives back to the feds more then it receives who the fuck is paying for welfare? Californians you dumbshit. It’s that California has more generous welfare programs and has a big enough economy and spending to afford it. Meanwhile Kentucky still can’t get off the federal governments fat tits.

Jackson Scott
why would California be "sold to a different country"? it's the 7th or 8th largest economy in the world; the seat of Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Most countries wouldn't be able to digest it without radically changing their own national identity to become replaced by Califorian identity. It could just be its own country (with permission from the Washington DC).

Brayden Smith
not as much as most other countries hate their own countrymen. our squabbles are just more visible on the world stage because our domestic politics are followed worldwide. There are a few, very ethnically homogeneous, and regionally undifferentiated countries in the world, that are more united than us; but most countries are much more divided than the US.
Logan Anderson
yah, and the rate of production drops off by at least 3-5%, not even counting the inclement weather like floods or tornadoes

Ian Baker
I wonder how California would feel once they get all their handouts taken away. The place would literally crumble without the federal teat to suck on
Kevin Cooper
what I'm saying is, it's not like the US buying the underpopulated wilderness of Alaska from Russia. You would be gaining the political domination of a recently foreign overlord; and you'd be paying for the privilege. Not a good deal.
Joseph Richardson
did you ignore all the evidence handed to you that proves otherwise
Brayden Gutierrez
It's actually because penis envy is huge online. People tend to be much more nationalistic (and whatever the state/regional equivalent is) on the internet. You can also see this with opinions of the US in general. Just going by the Internet you'd think the whole world and especially Europeans hate America, but in reality USA has 70%+ favorability in most of those countries.
The results would probably be similar if you polled US states for their opinions of other US states.
Jack Scott

what is this meme
Silicon valley, SF, and even the east bay are all still gentrifying and have skyrocketing rent, its not dying at all
Matthew Nelson
Pretty sure he is just trolling, since he just stopped replying.
Jackson Gray
Californians aren't moving to Hicksville shitholes like where OP lives, they're moving to places like Austin that have either large research universities or high tech industry ( one of the best engineering schools in the country is in Austin). Places like Austin have been democrat strongholds for years now, even before the Cali migration. Texans get triggered because it's slowly turning the state "blue."
Dylan Harris
100% China. Russia, Canada and Mexico too but China would out bid everyone else.
Dominic Moore
We're talking about California as whole. I believe Silicon Valley/Bay Area will always be a powerhouse in the tech industry to a varying degree, regardless of state economic policies, due to its proximity to Cal Berkley and Stanford.

How can you take a list seriously when it puts North Dakota in the top 5?
Jonathan Harris
Hopefully climate change destroys the Midwest and all those flyover fucks get CLIMATE'D
Adam Flores
Are you implying there is anything wrong with North Dakota?
Have you?
Life is more than research, and culture is more than concerts
Wyatt Lee
Both me.
Yes I've been to both. North Dakota consists of a series of strip malls that the government considers "towns", with the occasional Indian reservation and oil well boom "town". Iowa is more civilized, but it's no different than anything else in the cultural wasteland that is the Midwest.
You say "Life is more than research, and culture is more than concerts." If that's the case, what can be achieved in life in Iowa that can't be achieved in rural California? Have you ever been to California? Northen California? Central California? Anything north, east or south of LA? Bakersfield might as well be Iowa, it's a cultureless shithole full of farmland.

>I've been to both
Obviously not if you think the only things in both are "cultureless shitholes full of farmland," strip malls, and reservations
>If that's the case, what can be achieved in life in Iowa that can't be achieved in rural California?
I wouldn't know because I haven't been to rural California, though if I had to guess neither research centers nor concerts have much to do with either to begin with
Though if you resemble anything akin to the average Californian, Iowans certainly live more peaceful and virtuous lives
What the do you think all those wagon trains were going to?
The Central Valley in California is some of the best farmland in the US
