  • Rebuttal, he doesn’t actually need to stop paying the taxes, he just needs to nullify them.

    • California’s port in LA brings in more goods than any other port in the country. They could collect the tariffs and federal dues and not remit them to the federal government
    • Likewise, they could collect a fee for all agricultural goods coming from every other state leaving the port.
    • California is the nation’s fruit and vegetable basket. He could impose a tax on all ag products leaving the state.
    • He could seize all federal buildings in the state as collateral.
    • Ever heard of the La Brea tar pits? California is an oil rich state. He could pull a page from DTs playbook and seize the mineral rights.
    • If he was really ballsy, he could seize the naval base in San Diego.





  • I’d call that pile on of more work productivity. If you can get 20 blankets a day with automation instead of 20 a month without, and they’re of similar quality, then why wouldn’t you?

    Now you put automation in front of a good coder and all the sudden that video game that used to take 5 years to make, only takes a year. Again, all good if you can approach similar quality.

    Back 500 years ago, only the wealthiest could afford a fine blanket and it would take ages to produce. Nowadays anyone can purchase one at their preferred store. Automation has increased productivity and thus democratized purchasing power.

    There are still billions on this planet that struggle to survive. Billions we could potentially pull out of poverty. Why stop the automation train now when the tracks show that we have further to go?
