House expected to pass bill making DC 51st state

Well, perhaps this might be a good time to entertain notions of sections of states breaking off. There are those in southern Arizona (a Democratic-majority region) who want to break off and form "Baja Arizona."

They can join us on the West Coast should we ever be allowed to succeed.

Well, they could do that, at least in the sense of sectioning off all the government buildings and removing it from whatever jurisdiction a state government might hold. Technically, that's already the case on Federal land, such as military bases, national parks, and Indian reservations.

That's a great chart. No wonder so much grass is grown in the West.

I would not fault the West Coast for succeeding from the Union, because flyover country and the southern U.S. are too fiscally stingy and too socially backwards to be capable of properly caring for the well being of society as a whole.

I was also thinking that they could relocate the government to a large space station in orbit

to better represent the distance the government has from the people.
