The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The Magats would then have to "move elsewhere"--but WHERE ??? They want to GET WELFARE--but NOT PAY FOR IT. They are being cut off from US federal welfare right now. Look at Arkansas and Chucklebee Sanders. She wanted FEMA help--DENIED !! That is now a STATE, not federal, matter. OOPS !!! DIY has gotta hurt a LOT !!! They got what they voted for--good and HARD!!

There are some natural dividing lines. For example, I live in Washington State. Western Washington (think Seattle) is mostly super-liberal to that point of almost being socialist. We were the first state to legalize both gay marriage and recreational marijuana by vote of the people. Eastern Washington is MAGA like you can't believe.

So we could simply carve off everything from say, north of Olympia and west of the Cascades. We wouldn't even need a new province, we could just join BC. Eastern Washington could join Idaho or vice versa, which they want to do anyway.
