The problem is that ‘succession’ can’t be accomplished without the consent of the other 49 states – and that consent will never come.
There's that but there is also the dumbness of succession to start with. Like, for example, if Alabama decided to become its own state, it loses all federal funding; that's 36% of the state's revenue according to one site I saw.
That money is going to come from somewhere.... So you'll have to levy tariffs on stuff trucked in on I-10 from Louisiana. So if you live there, you will drive across state lines to buy your stuff. Any sales tax revenue....'Bama ain't gonna get it.
