    This could lead to a civil war if enough states leave with Cali. What a shitty time to be alive that it has even come to this

      We honestly never really finished the last one. Reconstruction got the rug pulled out from underneath it.

      It’s not come to anything. They tried this a few years ago and it failed. “approved for signature gathering” doesn’t mean shit

      Here’s to hoping it’s just saber-rattling to remind the feds how important it is to the nation. CA standards benefit way more than just CA residents; i.e. giving other states framework to adopt similar legislation (like emission standards) or even HR practices. Anecdotally, I worked for a CA based company at an east coast office; when they laid a portion of the workforce off, they paid severance to all affected even though many of us were in ‘right to work’ states.
