I’m sorry, but you people are crazy: Proposition to split California into 3 states will be on the November statewide ballot. Really?? 😒😩🤔🙄😂 The proponents got the required signatures for it to be placed on the ballot – this means there are 600,000 crazy people wanting to split the state into thirds.
Because people are morons. The only reason I can possibly imagine would be to get more Republicans for the legislature. Thankfully they say 70% of us would need to be swayed. It’s going to fail, but the fact that it got on the ballot boggles the mind. Make sure you vote now that you are of age!!!!
After a quick read, I speculate it is one way to break up the world’s 5th largest economy while also segregating via state borders (and therefore tax bases) different populations. Most probably along both economic and racial lines.
Two years ago, I would have said it will never happen, but right now we live in whack-a-doo world and anything is possible now.
**prepares petition for Canada to annex my state. Please Canada, please***
I said people are crazy for doing this. My moms reply: we live in a crazy time. That does not help quell any fears I might have…what is the world coming to? Sigh………
Regardless of how the vote would go (and it won’t go anywhere), it would require congressional approval.
Not going to happen.
As an aside, the people behind this must be the same wacky group behind the plastic bag ban and the latest, plastic straws. …… Don’t even get me started on this.

All very true.
The plastic straw thing is ridiculous. At least the bill for tethering bottle caps is most likely dead at this point.
