    California should secede.

    It would immediately bankrupt the US. All those mags loving red states are barely able to survive without money flowing in from blue states, and California is not only its largest economy, it’s one of the largest economies in the world. California moves away and good luck for those red states getting money to feed their rich.

        I am here for this. So many Canadians in the entertainment industry relocate to Cali. Hell, it was even what drew the NHL into southern expansion. If Gretzky had never been traded to Los Angeles, I am betting that the NHL would be confined to Canada and the northern US (places that actually get snow, goddammit!) to this day.

        Edit: I know that mountainous regions in even tropical countries get snow, but the culture of hockey/winter sports in general doesn’t exist in warm-weather locales for a pretty obvious reason - people don’t experience cold winter weather there.
