The trouble is the secession would have to be cities versus rural areas in the United States. There's no good State map
i think if you allowed states to secede, you'd see the rural and urban issue balance out it's been ongoing for the last fourty years anyway
States are heavily subsidized by the federal government - I believe California pays in way more than it gets. You're going to have all the GDP walk away and be left with a ton of sorry states. It's entirely unfeasible.

#23Considering the GDP of California is 10x that of Denmark's, it will have to be a reverse takeover.
Or just borrow 10x on their margin account.

That would be a good trick considering the EU does not own Denmark.

#25Swap California and Greenland. Clothing optional beaches make more sense in California.

Especially for shitty landlocked states that produce nothing and have poor education infrastructure

Never there was a better time to short it.

#28Cute. Seriously though, it'd be cheaper to fund (or crowdfund) a super PAC to send out lobbyists to conduct political interference and gerrymandering in the desired direction. Giving out 1 kg gold bars apparently isn't socially-acceptable but lobbyists and "support" are okay.

#30Unironically, peaceful secession is the best answer to the majority of the problems in the United States.
Unfortunately, peaceful secession isn't really a thing.
