Re: The States: Where We Wish Texas Would Secede Already
Of all the books assigned for reading in high school, I only enjoyed two: To Kill a Mockingbird, and Nite. All the rest just bored me or my teachers made them annoying. A few books I did go back to read after college, and ended up enjoying them more."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984
"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir
"Good news! We have a delivery." Professor Farnsworth

I think we should probably get back to talking about the states..."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Re: The States: Where We Wish Texas Would Secede Already
MN is re-opening. Slowly.
They have to have a business plan that is approved by the state, but they DON'T have to submit.
Methinks that if the state uses them, and they are not up to the standards? BIG trouble (No issue with that). Basically, go foward, but strict allowances, and get ready to pull back.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
Tastes like a warm summer day. -Raylan Givens

Why should the people and taxpayers of America be bailing out poorly run states (like Illinois, as example) and cities, in all cases Democrat run and managed, when most of the other states are not looking for bailout help? I am open to discussing anything, but just asking?
