LA to SF west of the coast range would go. San Diego is a tossup. Where the line would fall on the north coast is another question. Marin would go for sure.
The USA would keep the currently useless ports of West Sac and Stockton, ruining CA's plan of taxing commerce to the USA.
You can also bet the USA would keep its military bases in 'new CA'. Also water...
Not contiguous blocks. Not viable as independent nations. e.g. New CA would die of thirst.
'CA exit' was in _fact_, Russian funded crack smoke. Non starter.
There is no 70% opinion in the USA. It's far more fractured than that. 30% thumper, 10% red, 20% 'victims', 20% marijuana enthusiast, 50% gun toter, 20% gun grabber etc etc (sets not exclusive). We're, more or less, stuck with each other.
The northern recruiting posters were about 'preserving the union'. Motivations varied, but most Northerners were still open racists, even most abolitionists.
Read what Lincoln wrote about the role of free blacks. Clearly he was a NAZI, deserved punching.
Nobody ever thought it was impossible. It was just going to take a few years and everybody knew it.
What % of the time is your current broadband insufficient? Mine is INXS to the extent I don't pay $10/month to double it to 200 down.
What % of the time was your 2000 broadband insufficient? IIRC I had 10 down in 2000, sucked, but already far better than dialup. Main problem then was backbone/server saturation during peak hours.
In my time, I've run a small business on a 10 Mbps unswitched coax local network. (and we liked it, the network anyhow.)
If money was going to solve homelessness, SF would have done it. Google 'Homeless industrial complex'.
Want to 'fix' homelessness, legalize 'tombstone drugs' and find a way to legally commit the batshit.
Chlorfentonal could defacto do the first, fingers crossed. The second is just a tough problem (when viewed through the historic lens of mental health laws being used in police states).
Personally, I think we just _give_ pharmaceutical hard drugs away, but in places (plural, don't want it to grow to the size of LA) we want the homeless to congregate. Empty shitty places, good day's hike away from anyplace, they'll still get their on their own. Build them shacks, supply them with scrap lumber, a water faucet and nutraloaf. They'll stay there as long as they get free poison. You'll want the person running the dispensary armed, just so grizzly bears, cougars and wolves don't get too many of the junkies. It's just the lowest cost option. Standing rehab option for them, but few will take it, those that do, will be ready.

Overstating the case doesn't help. Alcohol is legal and cheap, there are still drunks on the street. Batshit people exist. Chumps give to panhandlers.
Do you want to live next door to the junkies? They have to go somewhere, since the mayor's house it out...
Google 'nutraloaf'. It's used to punish convicts.
Nobody would ride a freight, jump off where it slows, hike a day to eat nutraloaf except for junkies.
If the dope is good, they will agree to getting spayed/neutered. They're junkies.
So you say, but you likely haven't spent the money to get a business grade fiber bundle (w SLA).
Steam won't download content at my current max speed, not during the day anyhow.
IMHO 'Sufficient' doesn't mean I don't want more, sometimes. Just that I won't spend the money, tradeoffs, as always.
You don't need a _high_ paying job to not be a wage slave. You can be a wage slave with a high paying job.
You have to spend less than you make. It's not that hard, but means you have to give up instant gratification, keeping up with the neighbors etc.
Not all poors are lazy today, but most were lazy when it mattered. Many of the others are just stupid.

Are they even trying to be a tax haven?
The last thing Europe wants is more tax havens. Would be good for them though.
Bible thumper.
A $10 sandwich at whole foods?
Must have been one of those fancy mini-sandwiches, you know a 2x2 piece of bread with some butter and a slice of cucumber. Something like that.
Sucks to be them...they serve as a warning to the next generation. Don't do what they did...
If you _need_ your next paycheck, you are a 'wage slave'. If you _need_ your next paycheck, you likely don't have any business on /.
The price of freedom is financial literacy.

When the dominant nation is broke, and the independent region has economic power, all they have to do is 'general strike' and bleed the rulers.
However it works out, Spain is now broke. They can't afford a civil war, nobody can, but Spain can't even really get started.
Next step is 'general strike' in Catalonia, not extensive shooting.
Puerto Ricans don't pay US federal income tax, but they are citizens. Most US citizens are required to pay US income tax, even if living overseas.
Their 'state' government is a bankrupt disaster.
How big does a border region have to be to have it's own vote?
e.g. If CA left the USA, the north coast, the central valley and Sierra would leave CA and (some parts) rejoin the USA. Perhaps also SanDiego.
Sig argument: you two are not disagreeing.
Fascists are waving a hammer and sickle flag and talking about protecting your freedoms.
Will they admit to having COBOL experience?
Think of all running software as a droplet of shit laden water on the way from the sewage aeration nozzle to the settling pond of obsolete code.
Get promoted to 'General Failure'.

SF is altering the deal. Comcast should pray they don't alter it any further.
HR will never give out reasons for firing. There is no upside to it, only liability. Most places don't even try.
The best way to fire someone is to get the competition to poach him/her.
Now describe the process of getting hired.
Nobody older than 20 believed anybody but Hillary was going to be the nominee. Nobody, the fix was in from the start.
Even the older reds new. They might still have voted Sanders, but it was just a pose.
There is a reason 10% of Sanders voters, voted Trump.
