[...] tech guru and multimillionaire Tim Draper has put forth a plan which will solve the ills of the state by – wait for it – splitting it into six smaller states! This “Six Californias” plan [...], as you might expect, divides the state into six smaller chunks, maintaining county lines. [...]
But there’s another reason to oppose the plan that few people are talking about: it would do damage to the state’s transportation systems, especially mass transit.

California should be split up.
t'would be better if our united states were more uniform, more fair. Spread the wealth around, right?
Gang activity would become more sectioned. That could be good or bad...
But I agree they should split California.
An unmentioned aspect of dividing California is the electoral effect. It's a form of redistricting.
No state should have more than 10 electoral votes.
break 'em up! Make everyone equal and spread the wealth!
Compete for my vote!
remember in arrested development when buster rides in his housekeepers trunk to Santa Ana and thinks he is in Mexico?
Buster: "Obviously this blue part is the land."
what's the argument for NOT breaking california up?
i mean, california was formed so long ago - like omg by old racist white MEN!
dont you want change? DON'T YOU WANT PROGRESS??!?!???!
Put down your architectural digests, you tradition-lovin' temple-front-designin' socle-supportin' fools and break this sucka' UP!
Every political move - and I mean every single one - is predicated on and dictated by financial return. There is absolutely nothing to do with the well-being of the public, it isn't even on the radar.
in this instance the big players are taxes - rich areas too cheap too "subsidize" poor ones - and political redistribution - cutting out "democratic" areas to increase the voting power (and number of seats held by) in "republican" areas.
FRaC, watch Spin by Brian Springer and Orwell Rolls in His Grave, but only if you want to understand how things really work. Part of the deal is propaganda, which you have clearly bought into.
bitch, please! propaganda my ass, number 2.
