‘A dystopian plot’: how will Trump’s Project 2025 affect California?
The plan takes specific aim at California on abortion rights and green policies – but the state has ways to fight it
The same way it will affect the rest of America.
Fascisticly.
Fantastic!
No, wait...
I hate to admit this but, as a CA resident, I think I might be OK with leaving the union. Let Mississippi fix its own damn roads.
the program ended a couple years ago, but for a period of time, California paid an additional set of taxes to make up for shortfalls in other states – in other words, several Red states could only stay afloat because of handouts from California
No that still happens, mostly in blue states they pay more in taxes than they receive back from the Fed. And a lot of shit hole red states get more from the Fed than they pay.
CA itself is the 5th largest economy on the planet. Seems like a fine plan to have it leave, since the rest of the country can't function without it.
Hey now, the west coast (especially the northern half) is very much one region which works together. The states are largely similar in terms of culture and politics and even sometimes work together on shared legislative goals.
It wouldn't be California leaving. It would be the whole west coast.

We won't. Pee is in the pool or it isn't, you can't outrun unchecked fascism.
Hey now, they were trying to just shit in one corner of the pool. There's no way they could have known it would be diarrhea...
Project 2025’s approach has been less fanciful and much more focused on policy detail. It rails, for example, against what it calls “abortion tourism” in California and other states and proposes a number of administrative remedies to track women who travel there because of abortion bans in their states, and to withhold Medicaid and other federal funding if California continues to insist that insurance companies make abortion part of their health coverage.

Well this sounds like a semi-psychotic kind of curiosity.
I wonder what looks will each state give to handmaids, I hope those are cute 🥰.
