This is EXACTLY the content I keep coming back to Jalopnik for. This plan sounds solid, I’m totally in. When do we start and do we get matching shirts or hats or something?

Exactly this. I’m all for taxing the rich (more than they’re taxed now) and calling them out on their shit, but this ship is cool and I’m happy to see it’s being repurposed.

I don’t get all the vitriol aimed at Bezos here, other than for him being a typical billionaire douchebag that nickle and dimes his employees by measuring their productivity metrics to the point where they’re pissing in bottles, but the bridge isn’t his fault.

This state has its pros and cons, and I’m not saying you won’t see the Gadsen flag here, but that’s not the go-to flag for defiance in TX.

There’s rednecks everywhere, not just in the South, no matter what you’ve been lead to believe. Canadia is no exception.
