You just gotta love the hallucinations people get when talking about certain groups. <Insert favorite group> were civil and masters of hidden science and never fought wars, that’s all inventions of the evil white man! We neeeeever did slaves, only white men did, and my group is so cultured, man!

The US right now is the strongest player on the world, but do not for a second think that your group would do less evil if they were in the place of the US.

Defend your country against assholes like Putin, for example?

I would worry about any extremist, no matter their race, belief system, sexual orientation, or whatever.

Extremists are not around for reasoning, they will implement what they want, no matter the cost, be it left or right wing

Break neck is the right word here.

SpaceX so far hasn’t been able to get beyond low earth orbit. The amount of unneeded exploded rockets us insane and they cheer, every time. When a new crew of astronauts blow up and die, the last they’ll hear is people applauding and cheering. It’s disgusting.

So musk claimed to get us on Mars in 2016 and today, 9 years later we have barely 1% of that goal met. Who do you believe any of the Elon lies?

Maybe.

It’s also very true

Everything…? That is not helpful

And of course they will only go after proven illegals and they would never ever just do this

I thought that Stallone was a pretty decent guy, did I miss anything?

Only that it probably won’t backfire much on them, not as much as on everyone else

Some of you might die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make!

That’s sick man! Get some help!

He could use his Supreme Court given powers and do something with that?

No

Biden has his faults, sure, but Trump & co are on such another level that it’s literally not funny anymore

Or, and hear me out on this one, you’re a member of a group, like various other groups, that want to control every aspect of human lives, including sex, to bind them to our little group forever so we can control them even more?

Nah, he is just a scammer with a lot of luck.

Je was fired for incompetence, for one.

However, if you start looking in what he has promised and what he really has done, a new pattern emerges: it’s all bullshit. He continuously makes fantastic claims that will be ready by tomorrow. It’ll all be done by tomorrow, really!

Tesla’s full self driving, is already here, claimed for 10 years and still isn’t even close. Tesla hasn’t made any new models in the past 10 years begpnd the cyber truck which is a horrendous laughably stupid thing, yet Tesla is still valued more than any other car company that make 10-100 times the amounts of cars that Tesla does.

SpaceX? We’ll be on Mars in 2020, 2021, 2022, etc… SpaceX still can’t get itself beyond low earth orbit and only managed to explode a banana over the Indian ocean. They’re literally 1% done of what they got billions of tax payer funding from. Meanwhile they cheer every time a rocket blows up because…fun? Ohh, how about the tickets sending people to the other side of the world in 39 minutes? Of course any high schooler could tell you 20 reasons why that’s bullshit but Elon fans lap it up.

Boring company? Would make tunnels 100 times cheaper than others, really, truly! Of course anyone can do that too if you don’t put in rails, emergency exits, space to escape in case of emergency, stations, etc.

Okay, how about star link? You know, those thousands of satellites that do the job of single satellites, and totally won’t cause the Kessler syndrome? Yeah, use thousands of satellites in orbits so low that you’ll have to replace them every 5 years costing billions. What does it get you? A slightly lower ping. This seems the most actual successful project to date that comes from him and it’s still a shit show

Hyperloop? The absolute bullshit show what got tens of Billions of investment and went nowhere ever because the idea is fundamentally flawed? Even universities jumped in because reasons, it stopped high speed rail development in the US because this would be so much better, and yeah… China has tens of thousands of kilometres of high speed rail now, and the US has… Nothing.

The robots? The spandex guy, FFS… Any “real” demo of his robots has been 20 years behind on Boston dynamics and even then they had to fake most of if with humans controlling those sad machines

Did I forget anything? Ooohh yeah, the solar roofs, where he cheated too. Lots of court cases about that one

Elon Musk is a scammer, that’s it

Oh yeah, though at this point who cares, it’s all bullshit

For sure. However, you’ll want allies, no matter how powerful you are. Maybe a Schengen type situation would be interesting?

A lot of values are similar, make an open trade and travel zone?

You are extremely oversimplifying a very complex situation.

The Mexican government consists of self serving corrupt assholes but also loads of people who genuinely try to make the country better. Mexico was a third world nation which has grown up tremendously in the past decades, but it still has ways to go.

Could they have done more / better? Sure, of course.

Is the US government complicit in the shit show going on now in Mexico, with their policies and actions? Absofuckinglutely, and a big part too.

Just because the Mexican government could have done better doesn’t mean the US government is off the hook

I get what you’re saying, I’m just saying that California under Canada would be off a LOT better than it is currently under the US.

But sure, go at it alone but make some sort of free trade and travel zone at least, ala Schengen in Europe.

Those are just solutions in waiting, I don’t see that as a barrier form California to join

Also, Canada NEEDS more citizens, getting a huge influx of higher educated people isn’t a bad deal.

Add the enormous economy and we have a winner

On the flip side…

California subsidizes the shit out of the rest of the USA, and relatively speaking gets less in return. Imagine no longer having to finance just about everything of failed religious states like Kentucky and Mississippi.

Also you wouldn’t have to deal with racist religious extremists. Like any country, we have our crazies but we’re not even close to the level of the US.

Financially it would be hugely beneficial to California to be part of Canada.

Also, get free healthcare, which is fucking awesome

We can equally share the .ca domains, it’s not like there are that many left anyway
