In 1861 there was a bit of a mess up started by states leaving the Union. Somehow if they could not get their way, well you know the story. Now along comes California.
It appears that yescalifornia is a move to leave the Union. They state:
In the Spring of 2019, Californians will go to the polls in a
historic vote to decide by referendum if California should exit the
Union, a #Calexit vote. You will have this historic opportunity because the Yes California
Independence Campaign will qualify a citizen’s initiative for the 2018
ballot that if passed would call for a special election for Californians
to vote for or against the independence of California from the United
States. This is a very important question. It is the
responsibility of this campaign to explain what a yes vote will mean for
you, your family, your community, our state, our country, and our
world. We have designed this website to answer many of these questions
and look to you to ask more. "As the sixth largest economy in the world, California is more
economically powerful than France and has a population larger than
Poland. Point by point, California compares and competes with countries,
not just the 49 other states.”
Not clear who these folks are. But perhaps we could sell it off to the highest bidder. Perhaps China would want California. Russia once had an interest, then again Mexico could get a claim in as well.
Knowing California, this may very well pass. Then think of it, all those Apps would be in a foreign country and we could block them. Make our children go back to reading books, doing real work.
There may be something here for everyone. Keep tuned.
