Hell no. Give it back to the rightful owners. Most of the east coast goes back to Britain. The Netherlands can have New York and Pensylvania back. There probably something for Germany as well, I’m don’t know the exact histories of all states. The French and the spanish can divide the south. California can become a free nation, because it can support itself.
No, bud, you’re not getting it. There were people living in America long before Europeans ever showed up. If anybody’s got a claim, there’s is much stronger.
Your second and third sentences directly contradict each other so badly, I am shocked they do not destroy one another via touch akin to anti matter and matter touching one another
Can we just disolve as a nation already? Start an auction state by state to different countries?
Clearly we cannot manage the simple act of self governance. The experiment is over and we failed.
Honestly I’m here for a CA/OR/WA Western seaboard alliance. Hawaii can go back to being governed by natives but can ally with us.
3.6t + .3t + .73t = 4.63t using 2022 nom GDP
Which would make the Western Seaboard the #3 economy in the world.

Cascadia, my dream is Cascadia.
I think some of the northeastern states could likely form a similarly powerful and cohesive country.
Alberta can join Montana and the Dakotas if they hate Canada so much.
Maybe BC could join the Western Seaboard, too.
It’ll probably never happen… but who knows? The relative stability of countries and international borders is a recent phenomenon.
I’m all for this too. The Western landlocked states would be screwed not having access to the Pacific ports as well.
Nah they can have access… for a price.
Laughs in Colorado
That’s a nice Imperial Valley agricultural industry you got there, it’d be a shame if we just dammed the Colorado at the Utah border.
Unless CA could convince OR/WA to give them more water, the inland states are critical for freshwater here.
The Onion already called it a quarter of a century ago.

Mate we can’t afford it right now. Maybe if Florida ends up in the bargain bin?
I call dibs on Norway
You mean norway calls dibs on you
They don’t want you. 😁
You sure? Getting to pick and choose what chunk of the US you buy?
Cali and its living economy are gonna be high bids
Yeah… but what about Florida ?
No ones gonna buy that. Evac the population and return it to a nature preserve
Florida the land is great. It’s the population that’s the problem.
It goes to Cuba. It’s in the will.
Choices, choices! I think we can only take one or two states. Which ones should we pick?
Hell no. Give it back to the rightful owners. Most of the east coast goes back to Britain. The Netherlands can have New York and Pensylvania back.

Hmmm…
The experiment “self-government for the colonies” has been declared a failure. We’re coming back!
No, bud, you’re not getting it. There were people living in America long before Europeans ever showed up. If anybody’s got a claim, there’s is much stronger.

That’s weird. Both seconds of research I did, were very conclusive!
Really? What about the years of grade school history?
Britian isnt even the rightful owner of most of britian, it sure as shit has no claim to anything american.
It might surprise you, but outside of the US, US history is merely a chapter in the history books. I’ve learned most US history from pop media.
And no where in that chapter did they mention the existence of native americans?
I highly doubt this is the first time youve heard or seen the words “native americans”
Oh lol. Of course. How could I overlook that 😅
I know how… I was reading a conversation about colonial times minutes before I made this comment.
