Tech founders want California to secede after Trump win

Shervin Pishevar, an early Uber investor and cofounder of Hyperloop, posted a series of tweets Tuesday night announcing his plans to fund "a legitimate campaign for California to become its own nation."
And no, he's not joking.
"Yes it's serious," Pishevar told CNNMoney in an e-mail. "It's the most patriotic thing I can do. The country is [at] a serious crossroads."

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Id say let them secede.

Secede? Hell kick the fruits and nuts out

 

[EvilCat Breath]

They will get high and forget all about it.

 

[Auld Phart]

That would solve the problem for all those celebrities that said they would leave the country

 

[TheDude]

While united we stand divided we fall has merit, it seems a perfect divorce to me, because Ca. is a cesspool. Drain the swamp.

There was a proposal floating around about creating separate mini countries within the USA, and one of those consisted of California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada and I think New Mexico. Might be time, actually.

Having lived in Quebec for 40 years, I know what is required for a Province to separate from Canada, but I have no idea what is required for a State to separate from USA. Can anyone enlighten me.
Also, has it been attempted by any state in the 20th century.

I think I could live without California in the USA.

Maybe we can sell the place to Mexico for them building the Great Southern Wall?

not to my knowledge

Civil War kind of ended that debate.

Still I would happily exempt California.

How can we help Them?

 

[rcfieldz]

I seem to remember hearing plans to break California into many states

 

[kaz]

Id say let them secede.

Just the coast from LA to SF. The rest of the State would then be red

Sorry, I should of clarified. Is there any peaceful way to separate.

Yeah, losing Napa valley would suck though.

How damn fickle. Last Night is was all about "STRONGER TOGETHER" and this morning when the sun comes up -- it's like "Don't let the door hit you in the ass"... They just wanted to get laid... That's all..

Well, it is north of SF, depends where we draw the border. Though having lived in the bay area, I prefer Sonoma. Sonoma's the next valley though so it may be both or neither. It's every bit as good without the snob appeal or the cost of Napa
