    I don’t know about secession. But let’s at least stop pumping all that money back to the federal government and keep it for ourselves (or maybe just share some of it with Oregon and Washington State). That would be a really fucking powerful message.

    Let’s see how those whiney anti-Californian red welfare states cope without us subsidizing their toxic bullshit.

        California merchants that collect tax under a CDTFA issued sellers permit are required to report quarterly, some annually. So the state might not have much but at least there’s something. Out of state sellers that sell to California costumers are required to collect sales tax as well. I got an email saying they are raising sales taxes statewide on Apr 1 2025. Most increases are around a half percent.

      Nah, bruh, I’m ready to be done, I’m signing that petition to get it put on the ballot. Read the room, any part of the federal government that doesn’t explicitly harm people is imploding. Fuck ICE, fuck Nazis, I’m out, and California should be too.
