You really have no idea how much economic pull California has, do you?
By itself it is the 5th largest economy in the world, not to mention the most populous state.
Car makers cater to California because they’d take less of a hit losing all of the fly over states vs losing CA, and it’s not even close.

That’s too easy and makes too much sense. 

HUH?

It’s insane that the future of our democracy... for at least the next two years, is dependent on two runoff elections in Georgia.

If only there was a way to moderate a website’s content remotely. I’m going to invent such a mechanism and become rich.
