Great Example of NIMBY Socialism

[Ben]

Also great example of progressive backstabbing and playing dirty. The latest "CALEXIT" plan (that will never happen, no matter who's pushing it) involves giving 1/3 of the state to native Americans as their own country. Guess which third? The third that progressives don't live in which would also eliminate 70% of California conservatives and place them in a foreign nation.

"We're righting wrongs and doing good!" Then don't give the injuns the desert and mountains. Give them San Francisco and Santa Barbara and the other 90% progressive cities along the coast. This is practically the equivalent of bigmouth rich liberals who fight for the "undocumented" while paying Rosita $7/hr and checking her purse before she leaves every evening.

Query:

How many nukes, and of what megatonnage,  will it take to knock California into the Pacific?

All of them. 

If we're going to bother, don't take any chances.

So one half of California may devolve into various tribes fighting each other and the other half would mostly live in a desert and likely need to buy water from the first half. Interesting ...

Water for the large, coastal California cities doesn't necessarily come from eastern California. Much of it comes from out of state.

The Colorado River originates more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from California in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Wyoming and forms the state's southeastern border in the Mojave Desert. Unlike the other California watersheds, essentially all of the water flowing in the Colorado originates outside the state. The Colorado is a critical source of irrigation and urban water for southern California, providing between 55 and 65 percent of the total supply.[13]

The water still has to flow through the new independent nation. Plus sarcasm.

Trump can put high export and import tariffs on the water and make bank both ways.

Just think, no more electoral votes from CA.  There will never be another Democrat elected in our lifetimes.

The new liberal coastal country will keep their borders open to illegals, until the illegals decide to take over, and won't that be fun to watch.  

More homeless and welfare FSA members will flock to the new liberal coastal country.  Breaking their budget in two, maybe three years, max.  

Ben's farm would be on the Reservation, he can claim to be a member of the Phucowei Tribe.    Or if he prefers, the Teuton Tribe.

I’m pretty sure Ben is already a member of the FOAD tribe, like many of us are.
