thats the trouble with the thread. enormous numbers of people have very different opinions and even goals for society than you do. lexington and louisville. vis a vis appalachia. look how NW Ark is regarded on TD.

I think more people are caught up with the authors envisioned territories (noise) vs the notion of smaller nation states (signal). I’m on the page of 4-5 nation states that can create more homogenous ideals and policies that would benefit the overall populace of those specific regions. Abortion, Guns, and Illegals are three hot button issues. Certain territories would be pro and anti those and you could create a path for these regions to implement their ideals. For those who disagree, you simply choose to find residence in a different territory.

The big issue is how to handle debt/currency/current obligations. That debt would probably have to be divided among the newly formed regions and addressed moving forward. Having 4-5 smaller currencies for these regions would also be my choice.
