Not going to lie. I get a lot of schadenfreude out of watching California repeatedly footgun itself.

  As an Alabamian, I am grateful for California. Alabama wouldn’t be able to survive without the financial support we receive from California.

    This just isn’t true. Alabama’s budget has a net surplus. What you’re referring to is that fact that states like California push for major federal projects that are inevitably unaffordable by lower gdp states like Alabama - many of those projects being things Alabama didn’t ask for or want. The result is that CA “subsidizes” Alabama. So a more accurate statement would be “if it weren’t for California, Alabama would continue to exist just fine, and would live more closely in accordance with its values for smaller federal govt”

      Darn those Californians, always doing stuff like digging the Tenn-Tom canal.
