I think blue states should bring in all in-house solutions to cut the middleman White House out of it. States rights!

[–] mean_bean279@lemmy.world 67 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We did that with CARB and now the feds are trying to stop it after decades of other states signing on because it worked so well here in Cali.

At the very least they need to hire these doctors and scientists that RFK Jr. fired so their wisdom and knowledge don't go to waste!

Oooh, the second US civil war may still be on but not in the way we first thought.

When the US falls apart I strongly suspect the nation of Cascadia to form from these states

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 37 points 1 month ago

It’s a good way to keep out garbage ICE invasions from LA.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago

Great, provided there is some version of the Nuremberg Trials for Silicon Valley techbro nazis.

They are welcome to fix their hearts or die.

I did not have "Civil War over vaccines" on my apocalypse bingo card.

It’s literally a life-or-death matter.

They should probably just join back up with Old Mexico and take Colorado too so they are left out cold

Usually, when people talk about Cascadia as a country, they include British Columbia.

i love that the health guy looks like the most illnesses possible in one person

He's just 16 preventable illnesses in a trenchcoat

Meanwhile Florida has started to form toddler death Voltron by announcing they're removing all vaccination requirements from schools.

I fully expect there to be a southern collation of iron lungs soon.

[–] brem@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

The worst thing about Toddler Death Voltron is: it is sentient and wants to no longer exist but they refuse to let it die because it hasn't been born yet.

Good luck writing THAT into your next screenplay MAGA Universe Doctor Strange

Free Cascadia!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe we should be our own country…

Please.

If those 3 leave the union, I think the country's more or less done for.

Shame Nevada turned more purple than blue last year else we could have joined them.

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nevada looked at the Republican mess and decided they want shot to themselves in the foot too. Americans are not well.

Good first step. We can and should do more.

With Florida ditching vaccine requirements it looks like the East Coast/West Coast feud is going to pick back up again.

Just creating this division is proof RFK should resign. We knew he was an activaxxer and against science, but enforcing his personal opinion on the entire country is unforgivable. At-risk children, elderly, and others will die because of his bias...

You get more national guard!

You all get more national guard!

Im sure there are parks where they can pick up trash in California, too. Don't worry.

Why is it the westernmost states that are the most progressive?

"Progressive" being relative

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Very high concentrations of educated citizens among the populace, a functional tax system that actually reinvests into its people compared to many other states in the union (especially below the Mason-Dixon line), and key cities center to high-tech development and critical US industries, military or otherwise (Seattle, LA, San Jose, San Francisco).

Additionally, because these states were some of the last to be incorporated into the United States, they largely were able to develop in less rigid ways in the 20th and 21st centuries compared to other states in the union (Cheaper land also allowed developing industries like computing to invest heavily in the region).

Though not a perfect summation, here's a video from Vox about why Silicon Valley is located in California: https://youtu.be/6xvrKW2H_hA

I can try to explain any other questions about our politics and social norms as a Californian (though I'm less familiar with Oregon and Washington State, sadly).

I love how many of us are so down for Cascadia. How do we get this in a vote?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 17 points 1 month ago

Now do this for every issue where the Feds are getting in the way.
