Fair Tax!

Funny how the South keeps trying to claim everything up North for themselves but the North isn't trying to steal anything we don't already have. Pretty clear sign which is better.

Shhh... Too soon. Let them shoot themselves in the foot a few dozen more times.

People keep saying this but it isn't really true. Oil wise, California, Alaska, and the Bakken formation will provide more than enough. Not to mention, we border Canada. Shorter pipeline will be safer. Shale gas, Appalachian basin has most single reserves and roughly 1/3 of all reserves. And don't even get into coal with us. It might not be clean, but the North will have plenty of energy, especially in a global world.

N Dakota has energy. We need to keep that. We can live on corn and meat up here. We have water, strategic trade with Canada, oh and with NY, Boston, Philly and Chicago (no you can't have Chicago) far more international banking and trade. But hey, enjoy your hemp and Florida drinking water.
Niagara Falls will power our electric cars for awhile.

Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Missouri were given to us. We didn't make any effort to take them. Would be silly of us to not accept the kind gifts.
On the flip side, the North has been trying to claim Maryland, DC, and Delaware. The North has made multiple attempts and claiming them as their own.
Nobody wants Delaware

What would a post secession Delaware look like? Are they the Ireland of the US with no corporate taxes?
Politician Spock

The north does not want DC's debt.
And despite the buildings looking cool, they cost a lot to maintain, and don't produce any wealth. Really nothing about the area is worth fighting for. Let's just call it a wart on Virgina.

Except for, you know, the entire Confederacy. Which you refused to let go.

If 'we' didn't let you go then 'you' owned black people as property.

The North should want it (but the South ain't giving it away) so they can control the entire Delaware Bay and to get Bethany, Rehoboth, and Lewes beaches.

You never know what they're up to in those Dupont factories. Might want to grab it just in case it's something awesome like a bacon trees or non-addictive opiates.

We're not exactly sure what our great grandfathers saw in the south. With the invention of TV, we've gotten a pretty good look at it now, and can see it's not worth it anymore.
Bye.

Was thinking Chicago could be dealt to China in exchange for debt forgiveness. Maybe follow up with consulting services - small firearms training, speech training, cheese recognition, etc.

You don't get Alaska and you don't get California as far as I know. And as far as Bakken might want to check with some science guys. Lots of people saying it has already hit peak production. Sad to say oil companies may have lied to us. I know shocking right? And while you are checking you might want to find out how California would even support you. They only produce about 30% of the oil they use themselves.

Not until they quit. Or are subject to a disorder. Then they get some drugs developed in the north and get back in the game.

We've learned our lesson that it's stupid to put up a fight to keep them.
The south wants to leave? OK, bye!

Yeah but that's an assumption you can't make. Why would a dramatically weakened NSA (Northern States of America) be a good haven for anyone's money? Why would anyone not just go with the Euro and blow this pop stand? What's NYC without easy money and the lawyers it employs really?

Remind me again about your list of top cities? Because I don't see how you win at anything with Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Memphis. Honestly New York alone takes those all down. Probably with a few others along the way. Before you know it you've got Shreveport and Arlington staring down the barrel at ####### Chicago, both wondering what the #### they are doing there. Meanwhile Boston is pimp-slapping that girl dog Charlotte into submission with one hand while having a throat grip on Baton Rouge. This is a rout. I'm just sorry guys.

I see Otis is going to try to bluster his way through the rash of tactical blunders made in his absence. We got Chicago already remember? Your guys gave us Illinois. And since they actually do something there it is more likely to be a productive city after the change. NYC? Not so much. What you should do is huddle with your "leaders" and make sure they don't give us the rest of the country while you are busy tomorrow.

Do you have a link to the poster who gave up Chicago? We need to verify he's a northerner. TIA!

Yeah, I want to see this. And I want to see on what authority this happened. It's not like the janitor at Google can just sell the company to some guy for fifty bucks.

And from where do you derive your authority? I thought you guys were an anarcho-syndicalist commune. People do seem to be taking turns as executive officer.
