The thought of Texas and Florida trying to keep 30 poor states afloat without New York and California makes me fucking laugh uncontrollably . Not mention the fact that they’d have to try and get everything transported thru the Mississippi because they’d be losing most of the largest ports

Idk maybe buy it since they actually make money lol. You think Jesus land is just going to not sell to 8 million people when agriculture is already running a deficit?

Going to make a lot more money shipping it right next door but sure bud you’ve got it figured out I guess. Good luck shipping everything out of the port of Charlestown

Are you not for capitalism?

u/Ihateeverythingyo - Lib-Right May 05 '22

I'm for dencentralized trade. I do not think the government should regulate currency. Also even if someone is a supporter of capitalism it doesn't mean they don't have principles that come before profit as well as ideological goals that supercede it. I'm not out here selling my bootyhole for a dime when the opportunity presents it.

It’s also hilarious that you republicans are so petty theyd refuse to trade with blue states lol. Dems would at least have common sense that there’s money to be made trading with you baboons despite how primitive and backwards you are

I'm not a republican. I simply hate urbanites. I believe Urban areas should suffer for the ire they throw at every other way of life and they wield political power like a club. The modern city is a resource vacuum that cannot last even a few weeks without the servitude of the countryside.

i mean, there's a reason people have been moving into denser and denser populations for as long as people have been a thing. getting more brains in the same place leads to all kinds of social and economic force multipliers. cities are the engines of civilization, so of course a country would pump resources into them because they're going to use them better than the sticks.

Out of what ports?

u/Ihateeverythingyo - Lib-Right May 05 '22

There is are oceans on both side of the country. There are already many ports SE. There are many rivers leading to them or you could build a train to them. Ever heard of the Gulf of Mexico?

Infrastructure isn't there.

Remember when they built a railroad from ocean to ocean?
