I was in the San Joaquin Valley recently and thought to myself, the whole Valley south of Sac should leave California and become part of Nevada. The Imperial Valley, part of Arizona. And split the Mojave Desert between those two. And then everything north of Sac should do that State of Jefferson thing with the southern Oregonians. So basically leave the coastal areas and greater Sacramento to rot without the benefit of the farmers they take water from (to save muh Delta Smelt), unleash the energy potential in the oilfield west of Bakersfield, and not having to suffer the abominations Newsom is slamming through: taxpayer-funded child "transitions", tyrannical lockdowns, doctors forced to kowtow to Big Pharma's narrative in violation of their consciences, etc.
