I’ve been wondering about how well a lot of American states could function if they where fully independent states. I’m not thinking every state would be it’s own country but states banding together and becoming there own countries. An example of this California, Oregon, and Washington.
I’m thinking that kind of like the Fediverse it is easier to manage and do more the people on a smaller scale.
What do others think of this?
States like New York, California, etc. have been subsidizing states like West Virginia, Oklahoma, etc. for some time. If we split it up in perhaps the most likely way (along political groupings) the poorer states would not be in for a good time.
Addendum: if we were to do the split right now, we might also see the rise of a few virulently and openly fascist countries.
sooo the US but smaller and less powerful? sign me up
