Forgive me if I’m woefully misunderstanding how this all works.
If the government is shut down, and they can’t reach an agreement to open it back up, what happens?
Short term? What does it look like in the coming weeks to months if no agreement is reached?
Mid-Term? Within the next year, if things are still all shut down, what happens to things like trade, tax payments, public services?
Long-term? If, worst case scenario, the divisions between the parties with power have grown so though they can’t ever reach an agreement: what happens then? Is it an anarchist state? Do we have new coup attempts to take power? Does the US balkanize?
I’m not meaning to inject any sort of bias in my line of questions, I hope I haven’t led anyone to any specific conclusions.


You should always ask for sources ;)
Those are all on top of my head. In my local area we have affordable housing money that is still making its way into the community and its helping out quite a bit. California does a TON for its people.
If you cant change your country for the better, try to change your state. If you cant change your state for the better, try to change your county/city. If you cant change your county/city for the better, try to change your local community/family group. And if you cant change any of the above, just try to take care of yourself. Sometimes thats all you can do.
Man, I love that California is my home. Fun fact by the way, we have our own state anthem, and it actually slaps
Although more people associate it with the NCR from Fallout: New Vegas than the actual state. But hey, something to aspire towards! :)
I wonder what the prison slaves think of California
Wow, that’s one interesting comment history you got there. I’m guessing… Floridian?
Also, as someone who has family members who have worked with clients in the California prison system to make sure they get their rights exercised, we do have due process in this state, unlike your right-wing fantasies, MAGAt.
Go suck off Desantis, and while you’re at it, why not visit Alligator Auschwitz for some tourism of the “accomplishments” of your state.
I’ve never heard the anthem! That’s crazy.
Cody (from AlternateHistoryHub) covered most of the states’ anthems in this video and even ranked them.
Spoilers: California gets S tier :)
