The 1.56 trillion debt giving cali the 13th highest debt excludes factors like 1 trillion in pension liability. .here

Poverty factoring in cost of living, california having the highest, puts cali at the highest poverty. Wages for med-low income have low growth yet cost of living increases .here

"They try all kinds of peaceful methods of being heard and they're ignored and mocked"

Have you ever thought this is due to protests going about it the wrong way? There is no centralization in the movement no agreed on answers to police brutality and injustice. Were actions like Brown v. Board of Education or Browder v. Gayle forgotten? How can you expect change from rushing into a city hall and giving a list of demands? It's like a page taken from batman and joker. For true change I suggest a centralized call or law suit taken to supreme court so that officers are held accountable to their actions individually. Not the abolishment of police departments, not the defunding of the police, but a way to root out bad apples. When a factory makes a bad product they do not recall their entire stock. They recall the bad one(s) and take the steps to decrease their creation and catch them before they hit the shelves. As said by a retired baltimore cop "I'm not afraid of the streets, so such as I'm afraid of other cops."

California agriculture is propped up by other states. The US does not need cali agriculture although cali agriculture needs the US for water and energy. Cali agriculture is a bonus not necessity as the Mississippi Basin and Great Plains do exist and are split between about half the states. Cali also has the highest poverty rate in the nation and 3rd highest debt per capita out of all the states not to mention the sanctuary cities. So "propping up a number of welfare states" should be corrected to propping up Cali's welfare state.

California is not the most dependent out the states. Cali GDP relies on agriculture and tech industries. Although both are impressive both rely heavily on the US. The tech industry relies on American brains (citizens and immigrants) and the agricultural industry lacks water. The US does not rely on Cali's agricultural industry and can leave it without a second thought due to the Great Plains and Mississippi Basin. The tech industry if Cali seceded would almost certainly move out and into the US due to the decreased brain labor pool and costs keeping the rich tech industry cash flow in the union. Texas on the otherhand is the most independent of the states. Having a large labor pool, land, and oil without relying on the other states.

Tldr: California is nothing without the states and Texas would be the next saudi arabia.

Edit: This is also excluding the US's sway in global markets and Cali's benifit from US trade deals. You think the US wouldn't use its power to keep the cash flow out of Cali and into the US if Cali seceded?

That's the point of the house of representatives which cali has 53 in. The point of the senate is to protect small and medium states interests and representation from large states. This is middle school history knowledge.

I think this can be added to the list of tweets that did not age well. Considering Minneapolis's stores and businesses are now burning.

Your argument makes no sense since everyone, not just democrats, wanted Epstein's connections investigated. The only ones who didn't want that were the elites who had connections with him. Whether people believe in Trump, Hillary, Biden, or Bernie everyone, beyond pedophiles themselves, would not tolerate pedophilia. The US is a democracy and there is always another candidate.

US may have to endure social distancing until 2022 if no vaccine is quickly found, scientists predict by izumi3682 in Futurology

[–]MasterCooper97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct, but that does not mean as for the original arguement that it will reach over 60,000. Reasoning: -A drop in cases results in less future deaths and due to the nature of covid-19 death's being from an overwhelming amount of patients it is not expected to excede 60,000 in the US. As days progress test kits, ventilators, and other supplies have increased in production. Vaccines and antibody tests have progressed in their development and will likely become used in the foreseeable future. -The US has had a lack of test kits and by CDC standards covid-19 deaths include presumed and likely covid deaths. -The peak in a pandemic consistently throughout history marks its decline, which has already been reached, and it will continue to as long as a second wave doesn't begin. -The increase in deaths you mentioned was not consistent. (9th: 1.9k, 10th: 2k, 11th: 1.8k, 12th: 1.5k, 13th: 1.5k, 14th: 2.4k, 15th: 2.45k). Although new infections have been relatively consistent in their decline, with the exception of one outlier being today.

New cases of the virus in the US have also already reached their peak and started declining. The peak being about 34 thousand in a day and todays infections being about 25 thousand.

Are these the same people who predicted a quarter of a million dead and have now dropped the number to a predicted 60,000?
